AICC Secretary and former MLA Sampath Kumar accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of playing with the sentiments of the Madiga community and the categorisation of reservations.
He said the reservation issue is failing due to the conspiracy of some leaders during the election season and it was not fair for MRPS leader Manda Krishna Madiga to use the constitutional rights of Madigas for his political benefit.
Speaking to reporters here, he said all the commissions instituted so far for the categorisation of SCs were during the Congress rule, including the Usha Mehra Commission of 2005; the BJP did nothing in the past 10 years. Mr. Krishna Madiga himself had agreed on this on several platforms.
