Union govt’s decision on ST quota in Goa assembly is only `jumla’: Congress
PTI, Mar 8, 2024, 8:26 PM IST
A day after the Union cabinet approved a bill to provide reservation to the Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the Goa assembly, the Congress on Friday claimed it was a mere “jumla” (slogan), and leaders of the ruling BJP were misleading the tribal population..
The announcement by Union minister Piyush Goyal about the cabinet decision was an attempt to hoodwink the people, as the government could have issued an ordinance instead of waiting for the next session of Parliament to table the bill, alleged Goa Congress chief Amit Patkar.
“This is a `jumla’ of this government. The chief minister had assured that he would take an all-party delegation to Delhi, but he took only his party’s leaders. This is because they wanted to hide the facts and misguide people,” Patkar said at a press conference.
