BJP leaders tried to stop Rahul from meeting Dalit students: Congress

Patna, May 16 (UNI) The Bihar Congress on Friday alleged that BJP leaders and a top bureaucrat acting as super CM tried to stop party leader Rahul Gandhi from meeting Dalit students in Darbhanga.

Congress in-charge of Bihar Krishna Allaveru told media that the Darbhanga district administration had granted permission to Rahul to address Dalit students in Ambedkar hostel, but at the last moment it was withdrawn on "flimsy ground".

The venue was shifted, but Dalit students were adamant to have interaction with Rahul in hostel premises itself, he added.

"A BJP minister and a top bureaucrat Deepak Kumar behaved like super CM and forced the Darbhanga district administration to withdraw permission granted earlier for meeting in hostel premises ", Allaveru alleged.

"Despite obstacles created by BJP ministers and a self-proclaimed super CM, Rahul addressed students in Ambedkar hostel premises itself ", Allaveru said, adding the administration had lodged FIR against Rahul for alleged violation of prohibitory orders by him.

Rahul said the FIR lodged against him was like a "medal from Bihar government", he pointed out quoting a statement of the Congress leader.
