Congress and BJP vie for Dalit support amid Haldwani 'purification' controversy
The Congress and BJP are competing aggressively to secure Dalit voter support following a controversy in Haldwani, Uttarakhand, where a purification ritual sparked widespread debate.

The purification row has drawn significant political attention, prompting both major parties to step up outreach and messaging directed at Dalit voters. The timing coincides with broader political mobilization efforts in the region.
