In a moment of self-realization, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stated on 22 May 2024, that the system is significantly biased against the lower castes. He asserted his deep understanding of this bias due to his unique perspective, having been born into a family of prime ministers, with his grandmother and father holding the office, and later visiting the PM’s residence when Manmohan Singh was in office.

“In the prime minister’s house, when my grandmother and later father were PM and later Manmohan Singh, I used to go, so I know the system from inside. And I am saying the system is aligned against lower castes, in a major way at every level,” Rahul stated.

Rahul emphasized that his insider knowledge allows him to understand the system’s mechanics, including its biases, whom it favors, protects, and oppresses. “Since the time I was born on June 19, 1970, I have been sitting in the system since I was born. I understand the system from the inside. You cannot hide the system from me. How it works, whom it favors, how it favors, whom it protects, whom it attacks, I know everything because I come from inside the system,” Rahul added.
“When my grandmother was the PM, my father was the PM, and when Manmohan Singh was the PM, I used to go to the PM’s house. So I know how the system works from the inside. I can tell you one thing, the system is aligned against the lower castes, severely and on every level.” Rahul further said.

In response, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a jab at Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks about the system’s alignment against the lower castes. During an election rally in New Delhi’s Dwarka, PM Modi remarked, “Sometimes while speaking lies, the truth comes out of the Shehzada’s mouth.”

“Today, Congress’ Shehzada has confessed a big truth. He has admitted that the system that was formed during his grandmother’s, his father’s, and his mother’s time, was severely against the Dalits, backwards and Adivasis,” PM Modi said. “This Congress-designed system has devastated generations of ST, SC, and OBCs. Today, the Shehzada himself has confessed to this,” he added.

In this context, Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai also mocked Congress scion Rahul Gandhi’s comments on bias against Scheduled Castes and Tribes. Annamalai wrote, “Rahul Gandhi admits there was a system against Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes, and Adivasis during the rule of his grandmother, his father, and Manmohan Singh’s rule. Congress will never change – not then, not now, not ever!”
