BJP To Protest Rahul’s Anti-Quota Comment

Mumbai: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will hold a statewide ‘Congress Hatao, Aarakshan Bachao’ agitation in Maharashtra on Friday to protest against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s anti-reservation remark.

Rahul Gandhi stirred the hornet’s nest with his remark that he “will scrap the reservation when India is a fair place” during the US visit, drawing criticism from various political parties.

However, in a damage control exercise, Rahul Gandhi said on Wednesday that he was misquoted and would increase reservation limits beyond 50 per cent when Congress comes to power.
