Bahujan Samaj Party president and former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati, on Sunday, reacted to the Congress president’s statement on the issue of sub-classification and ‘creamy layer’ within the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, saying the grand old party has given the credit of reservation to Nehru and Gandhi and there not an iota of truth in it.
The BSP chief said in a post on X, “Yesterday (on Saturday) after the BSP press conference, I came to know about the statement of the Congress national president in which the credit of reservation has been given not to Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, but to Nehru (Jawaharlal Nehru) and Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi), which does not have even an iota of truth.”
