Why Rahul Gandhi did not announce a compensation for Dadri victim

October 12, 2015 12:48

A day after Mohammad Iqlakh was lynched over beef rumours, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had visited the family to condole the loss. However, the vice-president did not announce a cash compensation for the victim's family. Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party announced a compensation of Rs 45 lakh and the Bahujan Samaj Party provided Rs 11 lakh. Which begs the question why didn't the Congress VP announce compensation?

According to party insiders, a cash crunch has forced the party to refrain from announcing aid to victims. In fact, senior Congress leaders are joking that the All India Congress Committee may soon be renamed as the All India Cash Crunch.
