BJP SC Morcha condemns Rahul’s remarks on reservations

State President of the BJP-affiliated SC Morcha, G. Devanand, has strongly condemned recent remarks by Congress opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of intending to eliminate reservations for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Backward Classes (BC), and minorities.
Addressing the press at the BJP office in Vijayawada on Saturday, Devanand criticised Rahul Gandhi’s stance, stating that it reveals a disregard for the rights and welfare of historically marginalised communities who rely on reservation policies. He asserted that such comments pose a threat to the progress and empowerment of SCs, STs, BCs, and minorities, who depend on these policies for equal opportunities in education, employment, and social upliftment. Devanand reaffirmed the BJP’s commitment to safeguarding reservation policies as essential to ensuring social justice and equality.
Devanand also noted that the Congress party has failed to give priority to its own president, Mallikarjun Kharge, pointing to a lack of respect for leadership within the party. He credited Dr B.R. Ambedkar for establishing reservation policies that benefit SCs, STs, BCs, and minorities across the country, and called on Congress leaders to hold Rahul Gandhi accountable for his remarks on reservations.
