In response to Rahul Gandhi’s recent statements regarding reservations, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has accused the Congress party of plotting to dismantle the reservation system entirely. She has urged individuals from marginalised communities to remain “cautious” in light of Gandhi’s “dangerous” remarks.
In a conversation with the students at the prestigious Georgetown University in the US, Gandhi said, “We will think of scrapping reservations when India is a fair place. And India is not a fair place”.
In a social media thread on platform X, Mayawati criticised the recent statements of the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, labelling them as “drama.” She advised the public to be vigilant about his position.
“Now also beware of this drama of the supreme leader of the Congress party, Shri Rahul Gandhi, in which he has said abroad that when India will be in a better condition, they will end the reservation of SC, ST and OBC. It is clear from this that Congress has been conspiring for years to end their reservation”, she posted.
Mayawati pointed that the party neither implemented OBC reservations when they were in power at the Centre nor conducted a caste census. “Now it is dreaming of coming to power under its cover (of doing caste census). Beware of this drama of theirs (Congress), which will never be able to conduct caste census in the future”, she wrote.
The BSP chief also claimed that if the Congress comes to power, it will “definitely end” the reservations for SC, ST, and OBC communities under the guise of preserving the Constitution.
“These people (of reserved category) must be cautious of this party which is pretending to save the Constitution and reservation”, she added.
Mayawati also alleged that B.R. Ambedkar resigned from his position as Law Minister due to a lack of justice from the Congress party. “In reality, Congress has been anti-reservation from the very beginning. The reservation quota (of reserved category people) was not fulfilled in their government at the Centre”, she added.
