Congress Faces Backlash in OBC Outreach
The Congress party is trying to win over a group of people called OBCs, hoping to challenge the BJP, another political party.
They admit they should have done more for OBCs in the past.
However, other parties, like the BSP, say the Congress isn't trustworthy when it comes to helping the OBCs.
The BSP says it is the real supporter of OBCs.
Some BJP members are criticizing the idea that Rahul Gandhi could be a leader like Ambedkar, a famous figure for equality.
