Mayawati criticizes RSS chief and government on reservation policy
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati has opposed the introduction of a 'creamy layer' concept within Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) reservation. She stated that any changes to the rights of SC/ST communities go against the spirit of Baba Saheb Ambedkar's constitution. Mayawati also criticized RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's suggestion regarding reservation, calling it a "casteist mindset." She alleged that the RSS and the central government are tampering with the constitution.
