There is no mention of Backward Classes and their development in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s manifesto released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, observed National BC welfare association president and Rajya Sabha member R. Krishnaiah on Sunday.
Making public his reaction to the BJP’s ‘Sankalp Patra’, he said that Mr. Modi himself belonged to a BC community and yet he was not able to incorporate the vision of the development of the 70 crore BC population in the country was “doing injustice”.
On the other hand, the Congress party, he said, has promised a caste-based census, 50% reservation in employment, the BC Bill, and an exclusive Ministry and budget allocations for BCs.
