PM Narendra Modi in Karnataka: “Brothers and sisters, the atrocities against Dalits in Karnataka is not hidden from anyone. In neighbouring Bidar, a Dalit girl was raped. The details are still available on social media. I ask those from the Congress who take out candlelight vigils in Delhi – when a Dalit girl is raped in Bidar, where did your candlelight get lost? Where were your leaders then?”
