As Gandhi joined protests with the students at the University of Hyderabad past Friday midnight, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sambit Patra said it is not a Dalit versus non-Dalit issue but a classic case of trying to score political brownie points.

"Rahul Gandhi should start working in a positive way rather than playing politics on dead bodies," he said. Gandhi shuns his own responsibility and gatecrashes into other’s protest, Patra said, adding the way he has shown insensitivity is the reason why "I say Rahul and responsibility cannot go together."
