Modi ji gave 10% reservation to economically weaker upper castes: Anurag Thakur
Punjab Newsline, Himachal Pradesh/Kutlahar/Nainadevi, May 24-
Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting and Youth and Sports Affairs Anurag Singh Thakur today said that when the Congress government in Karnataka was preparing to cut the rights of SCs, STs and OBCs at the behest of 10 Janpath, did Chief Minister Sukhu oppose it? If not, then is Sukhu going to cut the rights of SCs, STs and OBCs in Himachal too to appease Congress's votebank? Modi ji has given 10% reservation in government jobs even to the economically weaker upper castes, but the anti-reservation Congress is not able to digest even this.
Thakur said these things today during his more than a dozen programs and public meetings in Kutlaihad and Shri Naina Devi Assemblies. During this, he also cornered Congress and opposition parties on the issues of Army and SC, ST and OBC communities.
Anurag Thakur further said, “Congress has been anti-SC, ST and OBC since its existence, whereas on the other hand, Bharatiya Janata Party has always worked for the upliftment of SC, ST and OBC communities. It is Congress which has started the disease of reservation on religious basis in India. Wherever their state governments come, these people snatch the reservation of SC, ST and OBC brothers and sisters and give it to their vote bank for appeasement. Why doesn't the Chief Minister of Himachal Sukhu tell the people whether he is planning to cut the reservation for SC-ST and OBC communities in Himachal too?
He further said that in the last 10 years, the deprived have been the priority of the Modi government. The development that Modi ji has done for SC, ST and OBC community is historic and unprecedented, that is why our SC, ST and OBC brothers and sisters have openly come in favor of BJP today. Every day, hundreds of SC, ST and OBC families are joining the Bharatiya Janata Party in entire Himachal including Hamirpur because they have got the maximum benefit from the public welfare schemes of the Modi government.
