No change in Backward Caste Reservation Policy: Modi
It clear that there will be no change in the reservation policy for Dalits or Backward Castes, PM Narendra Modi today asserted that nobody can snatch their right even as he accused his opponents of spreading “False” on the issue.
The Prime Minister also compared Dr. B. R. Ambedkar with Martin Luther King, who fought for the rights of blacks. Mr. Modi was delivering the Ambedkar Memorial Lecture.
He said, “Nothing has ever happened to reservation for Dalits and tribals areas when we are in power, but still lies are being spread to mislead people. “When Vajpayeeji became PM, a campaign was run saying reservation will be abolished.
He was the Prime Minister for two terms and nothing of that sort happened. BJP has ruled in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Haryana for many years and the quota policy never suffered a scratch. Yet untruths are being spread. People, who are only interested in doing politics, fail to come out of it.
Modi said it was for the first time that the prime minister of the country was delivering the Ambedkar memorial lecture being organized for the sixth time.
