‘We can think about ending reservation only then…’, said Rahul Gandhi in America

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is on a US tour. While answering questions from students at Georgetown University, he made a big statement on reservation.

When the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi was asked how long will reservation on the basis of caste continue? On this he said that Congress will think about ending reservation only when there will be fairness in the country. At present such conditions do not exist in the country. Rahul Gandhi gave this statement while answering the questions of the students of Georgetown University.

He said that when you look at the financial figures, tribals get 10 paise out of 100 rupees, Dalits get 5 rupees out of 100 rupees and OBCs also get almost the same amount. But the reality is that they are not getting participation. The problem is that 90 percent of the people of the country are not getting equal opportunities. Look at the list of every business leader in the country. Show me the name of a tribal, a Dalit. Show me the name of an OBC. I think one of the top 200 is an OBC. They are 50 percent of India. Reservation is not the only tool, there are other tools too.

Earlier, while addressing a program in Virginia, Rahul Gandhi said that BJP and RSS do not understand that this country belongs to everyone. Addressing the community of NRIs in Virginia, Rahul Gandhi said that RSS says that some states are inferior to other states. Some languages ​​are inferior to other languages. Some religions are inferior to other religions. Similarly, some communities are inferior to other communities.

Leader of Opposition Rahul said that the ideology of RSS is that they think that Tamil, Marathi, Bengali and Manipuri languages ​​are inferior. Our fight is about this. Actually these people (RSS) do not understand India. We think that whether you are from Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra or any other state, all of you have your own history, tradition and language and everyone has equal importance.

Rahul had also targeted the University of Texas

Earlier, on the first day of his US tour, Rahul Gandhi while addressing students and academics at the University of Texas discussed everything from unemployment and inflation to Shiva and Buddha.

Rahul Gandhi had said while explaining the meaning of the word ‘Devta’ that who is a Devta? A Devta is a person whose inner feelings are exactly like his outer expression. It simply means that a person who has a clean heart and is completely transparent is a Devta.

Rahul Gandhi also spoke on the idea of ​​Shiva. He said, “Do you know the idea of ​​Shiva? When they say that Shiva is a destroyer, whom is he destroying? Himself. This is the idea. He is destroying his ego, his structure and his beliefs. This is how the idea of ​​Indian politics has to move forward.”
