Edu minister hits back at Rahul over anti-reservation remarks

Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday accused Rahul Gandhi of spreading lies using an "imported toolkit" as he denounced the Congress leader's claims that eligible candidates from SC, ST, and OBC communities were being deliberately declared 'not found suitable' to keep them away from education and leadership.

NEW DELHI:

Pradhan alleged Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party have become "biggest brand ambassadors of lies and deceit" in the country and that it is the Congress' Nehru-Gandhi family which has always betrayed the SC, ST and OBC population but the "prince" is unaware of his "royal family's history".

"That is why the Congress regularly appears with its pack of lies based on imported toolkit," he said while drawing a favourable comparison of the successful applicants from these communities during the BJP government since 2014 against the data in the Congress' rule between 2004-14.

Earlier on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi took to X sharing a video of his recent interaction with students of the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU).
