The Politics of Purity: Rahul Gandhi's Latest Controversy The Congress party has long prided itself on its commitment to social justice and equality, particularly for India's marginalized Scheduled Castes (SCs).
However, in recent weeks, the party's leadership has been embroiled in a controversy that threatens to undermine these principles.
Amit Kumar, an SC resident of Haldwani, has filed a police complaint against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly giving a "caste angle" to routine cleaning work at Ramlila Maidan.
