NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that a few select organisations, including RSS and industrial houses, are running the country.
The Lok Sabha LoP also called for a nationwide caste census and said that the Congress will remove the barrier of 50% reservations.
“Caste census should be conducted to understand the true situation of the nation. It will not be like the fake caste census that has been conducted in Bihar…A policy should be made based on the caste census. Congress will pass the caste census in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. We will demolish the barrier of 50% reservations,” said Gandhi while speaking at the ‘Samvidhan Suraksha Sammelan’ in Patna.
“When they came to know that the people from the backward community, Dalits are taking the representation, they gave you the representation but took away the power. The power has been given to Ambani, Adani and RSS. They put their people in every organisation,” he added.
The Congress MP further said that currently MPs and MLAs doesn’t have any power in the country. “Where is it written in this book (Constitution of India) that the all of the wealth of India should only go into the hands of two to three people. In today’s India, the MLAs and MPs have no power. When I meet the BJP MPs who belong to the backward community, Dalits, tribals, they say that we have been put in a cage,” said Gandhi.
Gandhi also criticised RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for his recent independece remark and alleged that he is removing the ideology of Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi.
“We wanted that just like the water of Ganga flows everywhere, the ideology of the Constitution should also reach every person, every institution of the nation. Some days ago, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat said that India did not get independence on 15th Aug 1947. If RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat is saying that India did not get independence on 15th August 1947, then he is rejecting the Constitution of India…He (RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat) is erasing the ideology of Dr BR Ambedkar, Lord Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi from every institution in India,” said Rahul Gandhi.
