New Delhi, May 4 (UNI) Attacking BJP over fielding Sufi singer Hans Raj Hans as its candidate from North West Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said the BJP could not find a Dalit face from the area, hence Dalits will teach them a lesson.

There is one Dalit seat in Delhi and the BJP has brought someone from Punjab to fight on that seat.
