Singh said.

In Baghpat AICC general Secretray Digvijay Singh attended the feast, while all the 21 MPs from the state also organised such feasts in their respective constituencies.

In Rahul Gandhi's constituency Amethi, community feasts were organised in Kheshaina and Manirampur dalit colonies and Gauriganj area. The party workers celebrated the occasion in different ways, Singh said.

"The occasion is also being utilised to spread awareness about environment by planting of trees by partymen," he said.

Taking a dig at BSP's "Sharm Karo diwas" being organised today, Singh said the popularity of Congress party has forced Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati to come out from the cosy confines of her office and participate public programmes.

"She is afraid of dent being caused to her dalit vote bank by Congress and that is the reason she is participating in such programmes," he said.
