: Dalit rights activist Jignesh Mevani Saturday was evasive when asked about his stand on Rahul Gandhi, being propped by the DMK as the opposition's Prime Ministerial candidate.

The independent MLA from Gujarat, when asked who he would support in the Lok Sabha polls next year, told reporters "my support will be to we the people, to the poorest of the poor, to the workers and peasants."
Again, when asked if his support would be for the Congress, he repeated "I support we the people...I support Ambedkar...Phule."
