Congress has consistently tried to take away the rights of SC, ST, and OBC communities: Amit Shah

| Published on:

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah, on Sunday, launched a strong attack on the Congress party’s falsehoods and negative politics. He stated that Congress has consistently attempted to infringe upon the rights of SC, ST and OBC communities.

Shri Shah accused Rahul Gandhi of repeatedly misleading the public with false and unfounded claims. He dismissed Rahul Gandhi’s statement that the BJP plans to end reservations as a complete lie, stating that if the BJP intended to end reservations, it would have already happened. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has guaranteed all Dalit, backward and tribal citizens across the country that as long as the BJP is in power, reservations will remain untouched.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Minister strongly criticized the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi for their deceptive and misleading politics. Congress party has consistently attacked reservations for SC, ST and OBC communities. In Karnataka, the Congress government granted 4% reservation to a special community. This reservation was carved out of the OBC reservation quota. Similarly, when the Congress government came to power in Andhra Pradesh, a special community was given a 5% reservation. This reservation was taken from the reservation quotas for SC, ST and OBC communities.

Shri Shah continued his attack on the Congress party by pointing out that SC, ST and OBC students are still deprived of reservations at Jamia Millia and Aligarh University. This situation is attributed to the Congress party’s appeasement politics.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Shah claimed that the Congress party has consistently opposed the backward classes, troubled Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and mistreated tribal people. It is Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi who has brought justice to the tribal community by appointing Smt Droupadi Murmu as President and giving constitutional status to the OBC Commission. Shri Narendra Modi has taken numerous initiatives to empower the SC, ST and OBCs.

Hon’ble Shri Shah reminded the public of the ‘Modi guarantee’, stating that as long as the BJP remains in power, reservations for SC-ST and backward classes would not be changed. This is ‘Modi Ki Guarantee’.
