In a recent event held in Kolhapur, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi passionately spoke about the need to remove the existing 50% cap on reservation in order to protect the Constitution. He strongly believes that the INDIA bloc will be able to pass laws in Parliament to make this happen. Gandhi also emphasized the need for a caste-based census and promised that the Congress and the INDIA bloc will work towards enacting laws to enable it.
He firmly declared that the barrier of 50% cap on reservation will be removed in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, with no force being able to stop it. According to Gandhi, this step is essential to safeguard the Constitution. He also clarified that when his party talks about a caste census, they want to focus on two important aspects - identifying the population of different communities and understanding their level of control over India's financial system. This data will be crucial in creating policies that ensure equal opportunities for all.
Gandhi expressed his concern about the lack of opportunities for the majority of the country's population. He claimed that a mere 90 top IAS officers are responsible for deciding India's budget, and shockingly, only three of them are from the OBC community, which constitutes at least 50% of the total population. Similarly, Dalits and Adivasis, who make up 15% and 8% of the population respectively, are underrepresented in these top positions. He accused the BJP and RSS of opposing the caste-based census because they do not want the truth to be revealed.
The Congress leader also highlighted the issue of erasing the history of Dalits and backward classes from school textbooks. He strongly believes that this is a deliberate attempt to remove their contribution from the history of India. Furthermore, Gandhi expressed his concern about the privatization of the public sector, which he believes should be termed as "de-reservation." He accused the BJP and RSS of pushing for this for years.
Gandhi also addressed the controversial Agnipath scheme in the armed forces, stating that it is a ploy to snatch pensions from 90% of the population. He believes that this scheme has taken away the rights and respect of Indian youth. In conclusion, he urged the public to stand against injustice and fight for their rights.
