The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday criticized the Congress, labeling it as "anti-Dalit," following comments by Sam Pitroda, the Indian Overseas Congress chief. Pitroda suggested that Jawaharlal Nehru had a greater role in drafting the Constitution than BR Ambedkar. The Congress leader deleted the post soon after the matter started picking up steam.
