In a recent political rally in Nandurbar, Maharashtra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a significant statement regarding the contentious issue of reservation policies in India. He criticized the ‘Maha Aghadi’, accusing them of exploiting the reservation system, a campaign he referred to as ‘aarakshan ke maha bakshan ka maha abhiyaan’.
In contrast, PM Modi asserted that he is conducting a ‘maha yagya’ to protect the reservations of the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC). He underscored his commitment to preserving the rights of these communities and ensuring their continued access to the benefits of reservation policies.
Adding fuel to the fire, PM Modi issued a challenge to the Congress party, which has remained unanswered for over two weeks. He demanded a written assurance from the Congress that they will not reduce the reservation of SC, ST, and OBC communities to allocate a portion to the Muslim community. The lack of response from the Congress party has led PM Modi to speculate about a hidden agenda.
This bold statement from the Prime Minister has sparked a fierce debate on the reservation policies in India. The nation now waits with bated breath for the Congress party’s response to PM Modi’s challenge and the subsequent impact on the country’s political scenario.
