Terming the BJP “anti-reservation, anti-Dalit and anti-Constitution”, Opposition leaders on Thursday said the party will witness defeat in the coming elections and they called for a ‘Bharat bandh’ to demand an Ordinance on reservation roster. A march was organised by the Joint Forum for Academic and Social Justice. After the march, several political leaders addressed the gathering at Jantar Mantar as slogans of ‘Jai Bhim’, ‘Inquilab Zindabad’ reverberated through the air.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is against this system which is “trying to destroy” social justice in every form. “I spoke to our party leaders and they will raise this issue in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The maths is not in our favour in lower and upper houses but the upcoming elections will make sure that it will also become in our favour,” he said.
Earlier in media, issues were raised that the current Government is going to remove the reservation policy, Sisodia said.
