Self-appointed guardians playing politics with Dalit issue: PM Modi

New Delhi, Sept 2 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said self-appointed guardians of Dalits are taking advantage of age-old social divisions and playing politics to consolidate their vote banks and damage him.

Speaking to CNN-IBN, Modi said his biggest achievement after coming to power was that he could restore hope within and abroad the country about India's potential.

"The PM rubbished suggestions of political vendetta influencing his decisions to order investigations and said his 14-year stint as Gujarat chief minister proved he doesn't 'open a single file on political considerations'," a CNN-IBN report said.

He claimed that a coterie that dominates Lutyen's Delhi, which had problems accepting grassroots prime ministers like Sardar Patel, Morarji Desai and Deve Gowda, were working against him too.
