News On Time Desk 22 April 2024

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the Lalu Prasad-led RJD has joined hands with the Congress that opposed the Mandal Commission’s recommendations for providing reservations to backward communities for years.

Addressing an election rally in Bihar’s Katihar for JD(U) candidate Dulal Chandra Goswami, he claimed that PM Narendra Modi ended politics of nepotism, casteism and appeasement, and worked for the development of every section of society.

“The Congress party has always insulted the backward classes. The Congress opposed the Mandal Commission report for several years. Now, Lalu Prasad’s RJD has joined hands with the Congress,” he said.
