BJP has always stood for OBC welfare: Nadda
PTI, Oct 5, 2023, 5:23 PM IST
BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda on Thursday asserted that his party has always worked for the Other Backward Classes, unlike the rival Congress which sat on the report of Mandal Commission.
Nadda made the statement in the capital of Bihar, where the findings of a caste survey were released recently, triggering speculations of a countrywide consolidation of OBCs and EBCs who have been found to account for more than 60 per cent of the state’s population.
The BJP president, whose party is viewed as pro-upper caste, mocked the Congress for its advocacy of a nationwide caste census, reminding it that the recommendations of the Mandal Commission were implemented by the BJP-supported government of V P Singh “because Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi chose to sit on the report for years”.
