After mocking Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for visiting the homes of dalits, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishwas did just that on Monday.
With a battery of photographers and television channels, spent the day with Sunita in whose house Mr Gandhi has stayed overnight in 2008.
“I was just passing by this place when I was told by the party workers that Rahul Gandhi spent a night in a house here in 2008. We had also heard stories about him spending nights and having meals in dalit homes. I wanted to see the changes that have actually taken place myself after he came here but there seems to be no difference in the situation,” he said when asked to explain his double-speak.
Sunita told reporters that her home was set on fire by local criminals who allegedly belong to the ruling Samajwadi Party and added that her requests for assistance were ignored by Mr Gandhi.
Kumar Vishwas, during his rally in Amethi on Sunday, had lashed out at Mr Gandhi saying that the Congress MP was indulging in symbolism by eating in the houses of dalits.
Mr Vishwas said that Sunita was an example of Mr Gandhi’s indifference to his voters.“They used Sunita for a political stunt and then cast her aside,” he said.
