AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal accuses BJP of ‘betraying’ Delhi Jats over reservation

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: Amid growing political debate over Jat votes ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has criticised the BJP for “betraying” the Jat community in Delhi over the issue of reservation. Kejriwal pointed out that while the Jat community in Delhi is included in the state’s OBC list, they remain excluded from the central OBC list, unlike their counterparts in Rajasthan.

Kejriwal criticized the BJP leadership for failing to deliver on their commitments, saying, “Jats from Rajasthan get reservation benefits in Delhi University and its affiliated colleges, but Jats from Delhi do not.
