New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati asked Congress to clear its stand on caste-based reservations in the country. Talking to reporters outside Parliament House, she condemned a reported statement of party General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi in which he had pleaded for the abolition of caste-based reservations. “A senior Congress leader has given a statement on reservation; this can’t be an individual’s opinion, but the party’s stand. We strongly condemn it, she said.
Dwivedi, on Tuesday said there are certain vested interests in the reservation system, and added the future leader of the country should be able to break all barriers of caste and religion.
