Rahul Gandhi Criticizes BJP's Delimitation Plans for OBCs and Dalits
Rahul Gandhi has condemned the BJP's delimitation plans, claiming they aim to alter India's electoral map and reduce representation for OBCs and Dalits. He stated that the NDA government seeks to disconnect the caste census from political representation for the next 15 years. Gandhi accused the BJP of prioritising its power over the rights of marginalised communities, asserting that the party's actions are anti-national. He highlighted the historical neglect of OBCs and Dalits in various sectors, including finance and bureaucracy. The opposition leader also faced backlash from BJP members during his speech, with calls for an apology regarding his remarks about Prime Minister Modi. Gandhi reiterated that the BJP's attempts to change the political landscape are driven by fear of losing power, asserting that the opposition will resist any efforts to undermine representation in the Union of India.
