NEW DELHI, April 29, 2024 (TBINN)
Slamming Bhartiya Janta Party, Congress today said this is the first time that a political party’s goal is not just to win an election but to secure more than 400 seats and alleged that the ruling party wants to amend the Constitution so that the decades’ long conspiracy of Rashtriya Swayam-seva Sangh to abolish reservation can succeed.
Congress’ general secretary Jairam Ramesh shared media reports on R.S.S.-B.J.P. leaders’ remarks for the last few years on “ending reservation” and alleged that they have been trying to do away with the quota in education and jobs for the Scheduled Castes (S.C.s), Scheduled Tribes (S.T.s) and Other Backward Classes (O.B.C.).
“RSS-BJP have been opposing reservation for 100 years. For the last 10 years they have been continuously attacking reservation — in 2015, RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat had talked about reviewing reservation and its need and time limit. In 2017, RSS leader Manmohan Vaidya said reservation should be removed. In 2018, BJP MP C P Thakur had opposed Dalit reservation,” Jairam Ramesh said in a post in Hindi on X.
