DAMAN: The RSS is now saying they are not against reservations; however, they had earlier spoken about opposing quotas, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Addressing an election campaign at Daman in the Union Territory of Daman, Diu and Dadra, and Nagar Haveli on Sunday, Gandhi accused the RSS and BJP of trying to destroy the Constitution and other prestihious institutions to make their leaders ‘kings’ of the country.
Referring to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s statement in Hyderabad earlier in the day that the organisation has always supported reservations as per the Constitution, Gandhi said: “The RSS is today saying that they are not against reservations, but earlier they had said that they oppose reservations.
“The fight between the Congress and the RSS-BJP is ideological,” he said while seeking votes for ‘protecting’ the Constitution. At the foundational level, the ideology of the RSS-BJP is to destroy the Constitution, while that of the Congress party is to protect it, he added.
