“I am confident from the start. The blessings of the people of Alwar are with me. I have come with the guarantee of Alwar’s development. The Union Home Minister addressed the water issue that I had raised…The BJP and our PM Narendra Modi support and protect reservations for OBC, SC, and ST,” he said.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday accused the Congress of being anti-OBC and doing injustice to Backward Classes for years.
