Congress MP Phulo Devi Netam has accused the Narendra Modi-led government of failing to protect Dalits and tribal communities. She made the remarks in Delhi while criticising the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Netam also referred to a meeting held by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge in Uttarakhand. She alleged that the venue was purified after Kharge’s meeting and described the reported act as a display of arrogance.
What Phulo Devi Netam said
The Congress MP linked her criticism to the safety of Dalits and tribals under the present Union government. Her comments were directed at the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Netam further claimed that a place was purified after Kharge conducted a major meeting in Uttarakhand. She presented the episode as evidence of what she described as an attitude associated with BJP members.
The available statement does not provide details about the venue, the meeting’s date, the method of purification or the people involved. It also does not include a response from the BJP or the Union government to her allegations.
Uttarakhand reference
Kharge’s meeting in Uttarakhand is the specific state-level reference in Netam’s remarks. The statement does not identify the town, district or organisation responsible for the alleged purification.
The comments therefore centre on 2 political claims: the safety of Dalits and tribal communities, and the alleged treatment of a venue after a Congress event. Both points have been presented by Netam as criticism of the BJP’s conduct and the Union government’s record.
Political context
Netam’s remarks are political allegations rather than findings from an investigation or court ruling. The material available does not cite a particular incident involving Dalits or tribals, nor does it provide independent evidence concerning the alleged purification.
The statement also does not indicate whether any complaint was filed or whether an official inquiry was launched. Further clarification from the BJP, the Union government or authorities in Uttarakhand would be needed to establish the circumstances behind the claim.
Conclusion
Phulo Devi Netam has alleged that Dalits and tribals are unsafe under the Modi government and criticised the reported purification of a venue after Kharge’s Uttarakhand meeting. The available material contains no response from the BJP or further official verification.
