Rahul Gandhi News: The controversy is not stopping since the statement made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on reservation. Especially Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati is looking very aggressive on this issue. On September 11, she made sharp allegations against Rahul Gandhi on her social media platform X and called his statement on reservation misleading.Allegation of MayawatiReacting to Rahul Gandhi's recent statement, Mayawati said that Rahul Gandhi's statement that he is not against reservation is completely wrong and confusing. She says that when the Congress government was in power at the Center, the Congress, along with the Samajwadi Party, did not allow the reservation bill in the promotion of SC / ST to be passed. This is proof of their anti-reservation attitude.Mayawati also alleged that Rahul Gandhi's talk of increasing the reservation limit from 50 percent is a hoax. She said that if the intention of the Congress was really clear, then this step would have already been taken during the previous Congress governments. Mayawati also accused the Congress that when it is not in power, it talks big about the welfare of the neglected SC/ST/OBC classes to attract their votes, but after coming to power it works against their interests.Rahul Gandhi's clarificationAfter the controversy over reservation, Rahul Gandhi clarified his position and said that his statement has been presented in a wrong way. He clarified that he himself is a supporter of reservation and wants that the limit of reservation should be increased to more than 50 percent. Rahul Gandhi also said that he is doing politics for the participation of all sections.In the background of this statement, a question asked by a student of Virginia University can be considered, in which it was asked how long will reservation continue in India. On this, Rahul Gandhi had said that when the right time comes, reservation will be abolished, but at present its need remains.Mayawati's historical contextReacting to Rahul Gandhi's statement, Mayawati also reminded that the Congress government did not fulfill the quota of SC/ST/OBC reservation, and due to this Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar had to resign from the post of Law Minister. According to Mayawati, the anti-reservation thinking of the Congress can also be clearly seen in its historical works.ConclusionThis dispute between Rahul Gandhi and Mayawati on reservation marks a turning point in Indian politics. While Rahul Gandhi has talked about increasing the limits of reservation and clarified his position, Mayawati has raised serious questions on the intentions and actions of the Congress. The conflict between the two leaders on this issue seems to be deepening further and it has become an important part of political discussion.
