Tewari trashes Tandon’s charges against Congress over reservations
Bahadurjeet Singh/Chandigarh,May 8 2024
Senior Congress leader and INDIA candidate from the Chandigarh parliamentary constituency Manish Tewari today trashed the claims of the BJP candidate Sanjay Tandon that the Congress party will take away the right of reservation from the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes.
Tewari said, nothing can be far from truth that anyone saying that the Congress will take away rights of reservation from the SC, ST or BC communities. He pointed out, not only was it the Congress that provided the right of reservation to deserving people, it has also reiterated its commitment about the same in its party manifesto.
The senior Congress leader said, it is on record that several BJP leaders in the past have opposed reservations and also suggested doing away with them. In order to divert the attention, the BJP leaders like Tandon are spreading false canards against the Congress, Tewari observed.
He alleged that after failing to divide people along the communal lines, the BJP is now trying to divide people on the caste lines and it is certain to fail here also.
