BSP Chief Mayawati Slams RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's Statement on Reservation, Calls It Against Dr. Ambedkar's Vision
Key Highlights:
- Criticism of Bhagwat's Remarks: Mayawati condemned Bhagwat's suggestion that those who have benefited from reservations should consider voluntarily giving it up, labeling such views as narrow-minded and contrary to the Constitution.
- Stand on Creamy Layer: She argued that introducing a 'creamy layer' or modifying reservations for SC, ST, and OBC communities runs counter to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's vision, emphasizing that deep-rooted caste discrimination and exploitation still persist at the ground level.
- Call for Strong Legal Action: Mayawati urged the central government to present robust legal arguments in court to protect SC and ST reservations, while appealing to the RSS to stop playing politics with the sensitive issue of social justice.
