Raipur, September 23 (HS). On Monday, in the capital, BJP staged a sit-in protest and burnt an effigy of Congress leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi against his statement on the issue of reservation. BJP workers organised a programme at Raipur's Collectorate Chowk, where they also burnt an effigy of Rahul Gandhi. National General Secretary Sangam Gupta, former MP Sunil Soni, Raipur District President Jayanti Patel, MLA Purandar Mishra, General Secretary Sanjay Srivastava, spokesperson Sunil Chaudhary, BJP leaders from ST, SC and OBC category and a large number of workers participated in this sit-in.

Raipur District President Jayanti Patel while giving information to the media said that “The way Rahul Gandhi won the last election by misleading people by saying that the Bharatiya Janata Party will abolish reservation in this country, he has now revealed his true face. He went to America and started saying that our party will abolish reservation. He says something in the country and something else abroad. Top BJP leaders have said that as long as Narendra Modi's government is there, reservation cannot be harmed. He is spreading confusion among the people. He had said that he wants these 400 seats because he wants to abolish reservation. This situation has become clear now. He goes outside the country and speaks his mind. If the Congress party comes to power, it will abolish reservation. Today we are protesting against this statement and have burnt the effigy of Rahul Gandhi.

OBC Morcha's national general secretary Sangam Gupta said that the Congress party and its leaders have been constantly against SC, ST and OBC. It is on record that Rajiv Gandhi had called the OBC community 'idiots' in 1990. To put the Mandal Commission on hold, Indira Gandhi had asked her law minister to prepare such a report that the snake dies and the stick does not break. Jawaharlal Nehru was the prime minister at that time and he also opposed SC, ST. Recently, during his visit to America, he said in a university that as soon as our government comes, we will end the reservation of SC, ST and OBC. On one hand, the public is misled in the Lok Sabha and on the other hand, they go abroad and give statements about ending reservation. This is the double mentality of the Congress.

Former MP Sunil Soni said that Rahul Gandhi, while being in a responsible position, goes to America and says that we will end the reservation of OBCs and we do not believe in the Constitution. This double mentality of Congress has come in front of the public. Today we are protesting and demonstrating on this issue. The double character of Congress is now in front of everyone.
