PUNE : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said if voted to power, an INDIA bloc government will scrap 50% quota cap and ensure reservation for Maratha, Dhangar and others.
He was addressing a rally in support of Lok Sabha candidate Ravindra Dhangekar in Pune. Gandhi said their poll manifesto clearly states that it will conduct the caste census, economic survey and survey of organisations.
“We will find out how many people in the media, corporate world, private hospitals, colleges and universities are from backward classes, SC and ST. Through our survey the people will know how many of them are in the system and their real participation. Our survey is a revolutionary step. The day the caste census takes place, the people of India will get to know the country’s reality,” he stated.
Gandhi said that PM Narendra Modi should promise to remove the 50% reservation cap but he never speaks about it. The BJP is adamant on destroying the Constitution and end the reservations but the bloc will resist it.
“In electoral bonds, the BJP has earned crores but the media is silent. Modi says he wants to clean the political donation system through electoral bonds, but BJP refuses to disclose the names of its donors, why?” he asked.
