Bengaluru: Legislator and deputy leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly U T Khader has said on social media that quashing the reservation system is the hidden agenda of the BJP and the RSS.
Khader posted a tweet, “The BJP MLA’s stand demanding cancellation of the reservation for minorities under 2B is against the Constitution. It systematically gave rise to confusion regarding the elections to the BBMP and local administration bodies resulting in the cancellation. Now, the BJP and the RSS plan to get the reservation permanently cancelled for all sections of citizens, including minorities, backward classes, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, by making the system look all the more haywire by introducing 2A and 2B.”
Khader further said in his post that none should forget that Rama Jois of BJP-RSS was the first person to approach court asking for a cancellation of the reservation.
ಅಲ್ಪಸಂಖ್ಯಾತ, ಹಿಂದುಳಿದ ವರ್ಗಗಳು, ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟರು ಜಾತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪಂಗಡದವರು ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವರ್ಗಗಳಿಗಿಗೆ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ಪದ್ದತಿಯನ್ನು ಶಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿ

New Delhi (PTI): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday took oath as a member of Rajya Sabha, marking the end of his two-decade rule in the eastern state and paving the way for a new chief minister.
The oath was administered by Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan in his chamber at a brief ceremony. The Chairman later welcomed him as a member of the Upper House and also on his return in Parliament.
Kumar took the oath in Hindi in the presence of Union Minister J P Nadda, who is also leader of the house, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Panchayati Raj Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Ram Nath Thakur and Minister of State for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal.
Bihar deputy chief minister Samrat Chaudhary was also present at the oath-taking.
JDU leader and party's working president Sanjay Kumar Jha, Congress chief whip in Rajya Sabha Jairam Ramesh, besides BJP MP and former union minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy and BJP chief whip in Lok Sabha Sanjay Jaiswal, were among those present during the oath-taking.
"Vice President of India and Chairman, Rajya Sabha, Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, administered the oath to Shri Nitish Kumar as an elected Member of Rajya Sabha, from Bihar, at Parliament House today," the Vice President's office said on X, while sharing pictures of the oath-taking.
After the oath-taking, Kumar came out of the new Parliament building and spoke about the time he was a member of the Lok Sabha and sat in the old Parliament building.
As Kumar assumes the Rajya Sabha role, it marks the end of his long two-decade rule in Bihar. Kumar will soon resign as chief minister and the NDA is likely to elect a new chief minister of Bihar on April 14.
He has already resigned as a member of the State Legislative Council on March 30 after he was elected to Rajya Sabha.
The JD(U) supremo was elected to the Upper House of Parliament on March 16, and he had to quit as an MLC in the 14-day period after his election.
