When the constitution was being drafted, it was decided under the leadership of Babasaheb Ambedkar that there would be no reservation based on religion in India, he said. “If there will be reservation then it will be for Dalit brothers and sisters and tribal brothers and sisters,” he said. ‘But the vote bank hungry Congress never cared about the words of the great personalities, the sanctity of the constitution and the words of Babasaheb Ambedkar.  Years ago, the congress attempted to implement reservation based on religion in  Andhra Pradesh.  then Congress has planned to implement it in the entire country, Modi said.

They talked about implementing 15 per cent reservation on the basis of religion and said it would be done after curtailing the quota of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes, he added. In its 2009 manifesto, Congress’ intention was the same and in the 2014 manifesto, it clearly said it would not leave this issue, the Prime Minister said.

The congress wanted to change the Constitution and hand over the rights of the SCs, STs and OBCs to its vote bank, he said.  The intention of the Congress is not good, it is not according to the Constitution, social justice and secularism.  If anyone can protect your reservation, it is the BJP, Modi said.  (Maxim News)
