Historic day because swearing-in ceremony is taking place Valmiki Jayanti: BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari

"Today is a historic day because the swearing-in ceremony that is taking place today is on the birth anniversary of Valmiki ji. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas, we are working for every section, irrespective of the community. On one hand, the Congress party is snatching the rights of Dalits in Karnataka and their ministers are buying Lamborghini cars by taking their money, while on the other hand, the BJP government has worked for the 36 communities of Haryana and has given dignity to the OBC community and Dalit community across the country. That is why the Dalit community had closed the anti-Dalit shop of the Congress party in Haryana. Today is a historic day because today a pro-development government has come to power in Haryana for the third time."
