Kankera, Chhattisgarh, April 26: "See my clothes, I do not use any special soaps. Can you make out anything?" This was Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's comment at a press conference when referred to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's allegation that he was using a 'special soap' to bath every time after visiting a Dalit house.

To make his point, Gandhi stood up on his chair during the press conference and asked this question and showed his soiled clothes to everyone including tribals gathered there asking them to judge for themselves.

Mayawati had on April 7 claimed that she had come to know ‘when this Prince returns to his home in Delhi after meeting and eating with Dalits, he is given a bath with a special soap and he goes through purification rituals with incense sticks’.
