Rajasthan Deputy CM Calls Rahul Gandhi’s Remarks On Reservations Anti-Constitutional

Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa criticized Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday, labeling his comments regarding reservations as anti-constitutional.

Bairwa alleged that the Congress party has a history of obstructing reservation policies, claiming, “Congress ruled for 57 years, yet during that time, they politically misused the Constitution and neglected social goals.” He accused the party of lacking the will to fully implement constitutional reservations.

He highlighted that under Jawaharlal Nehru, the Congress government rejected the Kaka Kalelkar report in 1956, which recommended reservations for backward classes. “Nehru even warned chief ministers in 1961 that reservations would lead to inefficiency,” Bairwa noted, adding that the Congress and Nehru undermined B.R. Ambedkar’s social and political vision.

Bairwa also referenced former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s opposition to the Mandal Commission report in 1990, which recommended reservations for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) while advocating for reservations for Muslims. “This was a clear violation of Ambedkar’s original Constitution,” he stated.

Furthermore, Bairwa accused Indira Gandhi of delaying the implementation of OBC reservations by rejecting the Mandal Commission report and claimed that Congress has misused constitutional provisions like Article 356 to undermine democracy.

Earlier, Rahul Gandhi suggested that the Congress party would consider ending reservations in India once equity is achieved among all people.
