Opposition parties on Monday said they were unimpressed with PM Narendra Modi's speeches over the weekend when he dramatically urged that instead of committing atrocities against Dalits people should just shoot him, reports the Times of India.


The BSP, SP and the Congress said his anguish about atrocities against Dalits is not real."PM Modi and the BJP kept quiet for two years. How have their eyes opened now? Uttar Pradesh and other states have elections soon, and they knew that Dalit people are not going to vote for them, that's why the statement has come," Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati said.


The BSP head was referring to the PM's long silence after the atrocities against the Dalit community in Una, the suicide of a Dalit scholar in Hyderabad University, and other similar cases.
