Mayawati Criticizes Rahul Gandhi's Stance on Reservations, Urges Caution

BSP chief Mayawati criticized Rahul Gandhi for his remarks on reservations, claiming that the Congress party is conspiring to end reservations for deprived sections. She emphasized that Congress has historically been anti-reservation, urging people to be cautious of the party's promises and intentions.

BSP chief Mayawati has launched a scathing critique of Rahul Gandhi's recent comments on the issue of reservations. She accused the Congress party of conspiring to abolish reservations for SC, ST, and OBC communities.

In her remarks, Mayawati highlighted that Congress had never implemented OBC reservations nor conducted a caste census when it held power. She warned that the party's current promises are deceptive and urged the deprived sections to remain cautious.

Mayawati cited Gandhi's statement at Georgetown University, where he suggested reservations might be scrapped when India becomes a fairer place. She interpreted this as a clear indication of a long-term Congress conspiracy against reservations and called on people to be vigilant in the face of these statements.
