Congress party today hit out at RSS leader Manmohan Vaidya’s demand for doing away with caste-based reservations in jobs and educational institutions, saying the ”BJP-RSS anti-Dalit stand stood exposed. The party also asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to apologise.
The Congress strongly opposed ‘’such conspiratorial agenda against Dalits and poor,’’ Congress media head Randeep Surjewala said here reacting to Mr Vaidya’s comments made at the Jaipur festival.
Mr Vaidya had called for an end to reservation saying that this provision should not be a permanent feature as it had the effect of promoting separatism and denies equal opportunities to all.
Mr Surjewala said such calls were made by the BJP-RSS leaders before the crucial elections to polarise voters.
