He said that the Congress party has faced similar situations in the past and returned back with triumph. Rawat said that the BJP which is now talking about Ambedkar had opposed Ambedkar. He added that downtrodden sections of the society are still connected with the party and they should be respected.
Speaking on the occasion the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president, Karan Mahara said that Congress party respects all religions, sections and castes and always stands with the person standing last on the social ladder. He added that the party has faced and weathered the tough phase of the years 1977, 1989 and 1996.
