Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Sunday said Congress cannot emerge as a principal party without support of the Dalits in the country and said whenever it was without major Dalit leaders, atrocities against the community had raised its head.
"We all want Congress to become a principal party in India, especially Tamil Nadu. But that cannot be achieved without the support of Dalits," he said at a function here to mark the joining of expelled BSP leader K Selvam and his supporters in Congress.
Dalits constituted a major share in the population and if they were rejected and their rights denied, there was no point in India being an independent nation, he said.
"Whenever Congress digressed from focussing on Dalit issues or when Dalit leaders left the party, atrocities against Dalits had raised its head. This is a fact. To make India powerful and prosperous, we need Dalits' support," he said.
