New Delhi: Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, accused the Modi administration on Friday of being complicit in the growing number of crimes committed in the nation against Dalits and tribal people, seeing these atrocities as a part of the BJP's agenda of dividing society.
"The latest report of National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) is not merely statistics, it is the BJP's record of making the life of SC-ST community unsafe," he charged in a post in Hindi on X.
"Injustice, atrocities and repression are part of the conspiratorial agenda of the BJP of dividing the society in the last decade," he alleged.
The continuous oppression of Dalits and tribals exposes the hypocrisy of the BJP-RSS, the Congress chief charged.
Kharge also shared a post that claimed that there has been a 46.11 per cent increase in crimes against Dalits since 2013 and 48.15 per cent against tribals.
