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.

Durban, Nov 8: Sanju Samson scored a scintillating century as India inflicted a 61-run defeat on South Africa in the first T20I here on Friday.

Invited to bat, Samson blazed away to 107 off 50 balls, hitting as many as 10 sixes and seven fours to help India post 202 for 8.

The spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy (3/25) and Ravi Bishnoi (3/28) then shared six wickets between them to bowl out South Africa for 141 in 17.5 overs.

Earlier, Samson became the first Indian to score back-to-back centuries in T20Is.

The opener notched his second T20I hundred off just 47 balls. His first had come in India's last outing against Bangladesh last month.

However, South Africa clawed their way back into the game as they stemmed the flow of runs by picking wickets in the last five overs.

Pacer Gerald Coetzee who claimed three wickets was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts.

Brief Scores:

India: 202 for 8 in 20 overs (Sanju Samson 107, Tilak Verma 33; Gerald Coetzee 3/37)

South Africa: 141 all out in 17.5 overs (Heinrich Klaasen 25; Varun Chakaravarthy 3/25, Ravi Bishnoi 3/28)
