Will not allow even 0.5% quota for Muslims: Nadda

The Hindu  

BJP national president J.P. Nadda has accused the Congress and its allies of being “anti-Ram, anti-national and against reservations for the SC/ST/OBC”, and stated that they do not deserve to be voted to power in the Lok Sabha elections. We will not allow even 0.5% quota to go the Muslims’ way,” he asserted at a public meeting in Nalgonda on Monday. The BJP president alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had supported JNU students’ agitation when they had organised a protest “in support of the main accused in Parliament attack” where “anti-national” slogans were raised. The Gandhis were also accused of keeping “silent” when DMK leaders including Udaynidhi Stalin and A. Raja have been comparing ‘Sanatana Dharma’ with various diseases like “dengue, malaria and AIDS” and questioned if such leaders should be given support.
