Dalits should not fall prey to Cong tactics: Thackeray

Agencies Posted online: Mon Jan 02 2012, 15:40 hrs
Mumbai : Reacting to the Centre's decision to give an in-principle mod
to hand-over of Indu mill land here for a memorial of Dr B R Ambedkar,
Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray today said Dalits should not fall prey
to the Congress's "tactics".

"The Congress-led government has resorted to this strategy of giving
the Indu mill land for construction of Ambedkar's memorial to win
Dalits votes in the municipal corporation elections," Thackeray said
in a statement in the party mouthpiece 'Samanna'.

Municipal polls in Mumbai, where Sena-BJP alliance is in power, are
scheduled next month.

Advising Dalits to be cautious, Thackeray said they should trounce
Congress and bring the (recently formed) Shiv Shakti-Bhim Shakti
(Sena-BJP-RPI combine) to power in the elections.

"Dalits should not fall prey to the assurances from the Congress," he
said. He pointed out that there was an air of uncertainty about the
word 'in-principle'.

Following an agitation by Dalit outfits, the Centre, on Saturday,
agreed in principle to give 12.5 acres of Indu Mills land in Mumbai's
Dadar area to the Maharashtra government for Ambedkar memorial.

An assurance to this effect was given by the Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh to an all-party delegation from Maharashtra, led by Chief
Minister Prithviraj Chavan.
