SC, ST, OBC Quotas Secure Under BJP: Shah

REAFFIRMING the BJP’s stance on quotas, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that reservations for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled tribes (Sts) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) would not end as long as there was at least one saffron party MP in Parliament.

Addressing an election rally in Kagaznagar (Adilabad Lok Sabha constituency), he reiterated that while religious reservations will be scrapped, the quotas for SCs, Sts and OBCs will be increased. He also alleged that tPCC president and Chief Minister A revanth reddy shared a doctored video of him speaking on reservations.

Beferring to the case filed against him over engaging children in election campaigning, Shah said, “I will not cry like revanth reddy. I will approach the high court.”
