Uttar Pradesh chief minister yogi Adityanath on thursday alleged that the congress is harboring intentions to undermine reservations for Scheduled Castes (SC), scheduled tribes (ST), and Other backward classes (OBC) as guaranteed under the Constitution. His statement came after the karnataka government included all castes and communities of Muslims in the state in the list of OBCs. Calling the whole process part of “despicable attempts at Islamisation of india and pushing it towards division”, yogi alleged that when the UPA government came to power, it made such attempts at that time too.

Yogi said, “Congress' statement is very unfortunate. This is a part of despicable attempts at Islamisation of india and pushing it towards divisions. When the UPA government came to power, it made such attempts at that time too. At that time too bjp had carried out a massive agitation.” “So, be it Justice Verma committee report or Sachar Committee Report - they were all attempts by congress to loot the reservation of OBCs, SCs, STs. PM Modi has drawn the nation's attention towards these issues.,” the UP cm said.

“You saw the congress government in Karnataka's stand where they said that they will provide 32% reservation to Muslims in the state. What is this? The truth is coming out. These show that their intentions towards the country are not good. Country and the public will have to be alert,” he added.
