Patna (Bihar) [India], September 2 (ANI): Launching a scathing attack against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over caste census, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav said that they (BJP) have already mentioned that caste census should not happen and that there is a difference between what they say and what they practice.
“This is the strength of Lalu Yadav that today whether it is caste census or reservation, no one can openly say that this should not happen, but there is a hidden motive in their mind that they do not want this to happen… The BJP government has already said that caste census should not happen…There is a difference between their words and actions,” said Tejashwi Yadav.
He further slammed the BJP saying that they want to change the Constitution of the country.
“They have nothing to do with reservation, their real agenda is that they want to change the Constitution,” he added.
Meanwhile, Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha slammed Tejashwi Yadav for allegedly indulging in “casteism” and said people will decide who will be the true servant of Bihar.
Sinha’s response comes after Tejashwi’s demand for a nationwide caste census and the inclusion of the 65 per cent quota increase in Bihar in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution.
“…The people will decide who will be the true servant of Bihar. Those who affect Bihar with casteism, do dirty caste politics, increase corruption in Bihar and encourage criminals, whether they travel or stay, the people know that they will only develop themselves. This drama is being created for the upliftment and welfare of their (Lalu Yadav’s) family,” said Vijay Kumar Sinha.
Sinha’s counterpart and another Dy CM of Bihar Samrat Choudhary recalled 15 years of Lalu Yadav’s regime in Bihar and alleged that not a single person was being given reservation.
“Lalu Yadav was in power for 15 years but he did not give reservation to even a single person. He only cares about reservation for the family. Lalu Yadav’s family has never been concerned about the entire state,” said Samrat Choudhary. (ANI)
