BJP state in-charge Avinash Rai Khanna today said the party would win all 17 SC seats in the next Vidhan Sabha elections as the government had taken several steps for their welfare.

Addressing a state executive meeting of the BJP’s SC Morcha at Kasauli, Khanna said the party had won 13 of the 17 seats last time and they were hopeful of bagging all 17 seats the next time.

He said they had not granted Bharat Ratan to Dr BR Ambedkar as it did not want to honour him. “The Congress has always created fissures in society and practises vote-bank politics. The BJP, on the other hand, is endeavouring to create social equality”.

Khanna added that the BJP believed in giving people respect. The party had also erected a memorial at the birthplace of Ambedkar, while the house, where he stayed in London, had been converted into a memorial.
