Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday alleged that Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc usually, and Congress particularly, is harbouring intentions to undermine reservations for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) as assured underneath the Constitution.
Mr. Adityanath added that the earlier Congress authorities sought to enact the Ranganath Mishra Commission report, which really useful that a part of the 27% quota for the OBCs be given to members of the minority neighborhood.
“Congress intends to encroach upon the rights of SCs and STs. The Sachar commission report initiated by the United Progressive Alliance [UPA] government, which had to be withdrawn in the face of staunch opposition from the BJP, bears testimony to this,” Mr. Adityanath mentioned at a press convention to inaugurate the BJP’s media centre in Lucknow. “The Congress manifesto points towards conducting a survey of poverty. Ultimately, the Congress will distribute properties arbitrarily among particular sections,” he added.
Mr. Adityanath highlighted former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s assertion emphasising a precedence to be accorded to Muslims in allocation of nationwide sources. “The BJP’s aims of addressing four segments of society: poor, youth, farmers, and women, and never discriminates based on caste, creed, or religion,” the U.P. CM asserted.
Mr. Adityanath accused the grand-old-party for posing risk to the nationwide curiosity by wanting to implement Sharia-like legal guidelines and showcasing a “Talibani” method. “The Congress Party’s desperate pursuit of power poses a grave threat to the nation’s interests. Intending to enforce Sharia law in the country, the party has clearly demonstrated its predilection for a Talibani approach,” he added.
