Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Dera Sachkhand Ballan near Jalandhar on 1 February. The visit is seen as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s political outreach in the state to woo Dalit voters. The overt reaching out to the Ravidasia dera is strategically significant for the BJP, says Dr Kanwalpreet Kaur of the department of political science, DAV College. The community hopes that the demands would be met before the 650th Guru Ravidas Jayanti, which will be celebrated next year, on a national level.
