Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 15 (ANI): BSP chief Mayawati on Sunday alleged that the Congress did not want the backward classes in the country to advance and criticised the previous Congress governments for not implementing the Mandal Commission report which recommended 27 percent reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in public employment and higher education.

"Congress kept pending the Mandal Commission report for years. The Congress did not want the backward classes to get promoted. This is the real tactics, character and face of the Congress and other parties are following in their footsteps," Mayawati said at a press conference here.
