The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday prepared 5000 kg of Khichdi at Ramlila Maidan as part of a rally here, in view of upholding unity and promotion of people from the marginal sections and backward classes.
The Samrasta Khichdi preparations began this morning, as part of Bhim Mahasangam Vijay Sankalp Rally at the iconic Ramila ground, for which lentils, rice and other materials were collected from lakhs of Scheduled Caste families from across the National Capital Region.
The meal was served to the people participating in the rally and also consumed by the BJP leadership present on the occasion.
Speaking on the occasion, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party, alleging that Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was not letting the Ayushman Bharat scheme being implemented in the capital, which blocked the benefit to 6.5 lakh families.
Union Minister for social justice and empowerment Thawar Chand Gehlot, who was present on the occasion, took a dig at the Congress for not highlighting and acknowledging properly the efforts and contribution of Bhim Rao Ambedkar.
He said the BJP, after coming to power with due respect, developed and improved several places likes his birth place memorial and others.
People from different walks of life, apart from Dalits, thronged the place in large numbers.
The Khichdi will set a world record in terms of quantity being prepared, which was cooked in a huge cauldron, around 20 feet wide. (UNI)
