BJP To Oppose Religion-Based Reservation Through Mass Movement

India TV News  

New Delhi, Jan 11: Terming religion-based quota for Muslims as a “dirty gameplan” of the Congress to divide the nation again, BJP today said it will oppose any such move by launching a nation-wide mass movement and exposing the “dirty face” of its rival party. Charging the Congress with playing “dirty politics” for petty political gains in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP leader said, “The sole purpose behind this dirty politics is the OBC vote bank and the target is Uttar Pradesh.” She said the BJP will launch a countrywide “Jan Andolan” from the streets to Parliament to expose the “dirty face” of the Congress. Bharti also accused the Congress of having a “bigoted mentality” illustrated by its proposal for “religion-based reservation” ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, as it could not tolerate anyone opposing it. The former Madhya Pradesh chief minister also urged the “so-called” leaders of OBCs and dalits, besides also Muslim leaders to oppose religion-based reservation.
