The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today criticised Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for politicizing the Una incident and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government will continue to do what is in the best interest of the weaker sections of society.

"The Dalits of this country do realize that Prime Minister Modi adheres to and respects Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and will continue to do what is in the best interest of these weaker sections of society," BJP leader Shaina NC said .

Gandhi yesterday met the family of Gujarat victims and assured justice to thrashed Dalit victims.

Targeting Rahul Gandhi, she said that, "Every Dalit house Gandhi has visited and promised has he delivered? He promised the moon when his governance was there and nothing ever came of it."

"BJP is not any competition for the one who are viewing this issue as a photo opportunity and the government will work to serve the Dalits in the best possible way," she added.

Kejriwal visited Rajkot today and blamed the BJP government in Gujarat for indulging in 'anti-Dalit' propaganda, and having a hand in the incident.

"The BJP government in Gujarat is trying to suppress Dalits in the state," he said.
