Jignesh Mevani ready to talk with Rahul Gandhi

Gujarat Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani who has said that he has no intention in joining any political party, on Thursday said he is ready to hold talk with Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.

He said this talk will be based on various demands of Dalit community and Mevani would like to know the stand of Congress on Dalit community demands.

“I want to make it clear that neither have I joined Congress nor I am going to do so in future. Not just Congress, I have no plans of joining any other party as of now,” the young Dalit leader said.

“Since the BJP government is not even ready to hold talks with us about these demands, it is very clear that they are anti-Dalit,” Mevani said. “And that is why we are also anti-BJP. But, that does not mean that we are joining another party.”

“However, I am ready to meet Rahul Gandhi to know his party’s stand on these demands. I want to know what they can do for our community if they come to power,” he added.
