BJP Will Have To Give People Their Due Bhagidari: UP Congress In-Charge

"As the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi took up the demand for caste census and the BJP will have to give the benefits that communities deserve. They (BJP) will have to give communities, OBCs, minorities and SC/STs their due bhagidari (share)," said Avinash Pande, in-charge of UP Congress, who is extensively conducting restructuring of the party in the state.

"The next election will not be fought with the BJP, but the entire machinery where the election commission too appears a frontal organisation for the ruling party," alleged Pande who has directed that all committees formed in state should include women, dalits, OBCs and minorities.
