Shri JP Nadda said that 12 ministers from SC community, 8 ministers from ST community, 5 ministers from minority community and 11 women ministers have been included in the new cabinet. Was there ever such representation of societies in the Congress government earlier? The reason for this was their mentality, which says that running the country is possible only with one family.

The National President said that OBC Commission has been given constitutional status during Modi government. When the OBC Commission was given constitutional status, the Congress protested in the Lok Sabha. When this bill came in the Rajya Sabha, it was first sent to the Select Committee. After returning from there, the Congress again opposed it, but when we became powerful in the house, then this bill got constitutional status.
