Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Tuesday criticised Congress party and Rahul Gandhi over SC/ST/OBC reservation policy and said that they were not clear but followed double standard and deceitful for the reservation. People should be cautious of their double standards.
Mayawati said that Rahul Gandhi supported reservation and advocated increasing reservation above 50%for votes in inside the country but he talked about ending their reservation in foreign land.
Mayawati further wrote on social media website X “It is also true that their government at the centre did not implement the Mandal Commission report on OBC reservation. Also, the Congress did not let the Constitution Amendment Bill, which was brought in the Parliament to make reservation in promotions for SC/ST effective after the BSP’s struggle, pass, which is still pending.”
She further wrote “..and neither did their government plead the case properly in the Hon’ble Court. These people should also be cautious of the anti-reservation Congress and other parties. Also, the Congress government in the Centre did not conduct caste census and now raising voice after being out of power, if all this is not hypocrisy then what is it?”
