Our views were not heard in the party - Swami Prasad Maurya

Swami Prasad Maurya said that reservation for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes is being abolished. Should have taken to the streets demanding caste wise census. Unemployment has increased wildly and inflation is breaking people's backs. Democracy is being torn to pieces. We had requested to take to the streets regarding all these issues. But till date our views have not been heard in the party. When there is discrimination in the organization itself, every statement of a National General Secretary becomes personal... When there is discrimination in the post itself and I fight against discrimination, then what is the justification for holding such a post?
