On the backfoot over Dalit issues as it heads into elections in Uttar Pradesh and other states, BJP has blamed Congress for the disparities faced by the community and pledged to work for promoting social harmony to achieve social justice for the marginalised sections.

Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Birth Centenary Year Resolution adopted at the party's National Council meeting pitched for realisation of objectives of social justice, saying all classes must get equal access to means, privileges and opportunities for individuals. 

It also spoke about a number of schemes launched by the party-run central and state governments to achieve social, food and energy security. 

Criticising the Congress, the resolution alleged that during its rule in the country, the weaker sections have been deprived of transparent allocation of basic amenities. 

The result was that poor have become poorer in rural areas whereas in urban areas dalits, backwards and economically weaker sections have been reduced to a life in the slums, it said.
