I wish he will now convert his words to deeds.

We want him to take some serious action," he added."Mere slogans and jumlas will neither prevent, nor reduce Unnaos and Kathuas.

For Dalits you can inaugurate as many memorials as you like, but the fact of the matter is you are reducing sub-plans, financial allocations, robbing them of their scholarships, you are participating in conspiracies to dilute their reservation and then you are shedding crocodile tears in the name of Dalits." Mr Singhvi said.
