10% forward quota won’t affect rights of Dalits, backwards: Modi

Agra | Wednesday | 9th January, 2019

Summary:

Doesn’t it expose the Congress?” he asked the audience which shouted “Modi, Modi...” in response. Agra: Prime minister Narendra Modi said here on Wednesday that his government was able to extend quota benefit to the poor among the upper caste without affecting the rights of Dalits and backwards. If I had announced this policy three months earlier, I would have been accused of using it for the assembly elections in MP and other states. He said the opposition had thought that he, too, was like other politicians who would not expose and punish his opponents for their misdeeds. If I had done it even before, there were Karnataka elections.”.
