The BJP has vowed to uphold reservations for backward classes following the revocation of Article 370, with senior leader Devender Singh Rana asserting their importance on Saturday. He criticized the Congress-National Conference alliance for what he claims is an attempt to strip these communities of their rights.
Rana robustly opposed any efforts to rename sacred sites such as Shankaracharya Hill and Hari Parbat, stating these moves would be resisted. He emphasized their spiritual significance, marking them as integral to the faith of local communities.
With assembly elections approaching in Jammu & Kashmir, the Congress and National Conference's decision to form a pre-poll alliance has sparked controversy. Rana accused them of undermining reservation policies, reaffirming the BJP's dedication to protecting constitutional provisions and the interests of marginalized groups.
