WOMEN'S BILL INCOMPLETE SANS OBC RESERVATION, SAYS RAHUL GANDHI
The Daily Guardian
|September 21, 2023
Expressing support for the women's reservation bill in Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday batted for its immediate implementation and said that the legislation is "incomplete" without provision for reservation for OBCs. Participating in a discussion on the bill, Gandhi also made a strong pitch for a caste census.

He claimed that out of 90 secretaries of the government of India, only three are from the Other Backward Classes (OBC) and control only five per cent of the Budget, which he said was an "insult" to the backward classes. Recalling the discussion on Sengol and the transfer of power from the British, the former Congress chief said the revolutionary answer that the freedom movement leaders gave to the British was that the transfer of power was to the people of India.
