Slap those who snatch your rights, Kalyan Singh tells backward castes

Rajasthan governor and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh has asked the backward castes not to beg for their rights but to slap anyone who deprives them of their due.

"Rights will not come your way if you beg for it, he said at a backward classes convention on Monday in memory of former prime minister V P Singh.

Give a hard slap to anyone who tries to snatch your rights, Singh added.

He gave this mantra to the backward community: "Remain active in politics, have an active representation in elections from the gram sabha up to the district level... to Vidhan Sabha and Lok Sabha."
