JD (U) oppose the Patel reservation demand

Janjivan Bureau
New Delhi: Janta Dal (U) president Sharad Yadav today critiseze the Patel community agitation for reservation and opposed the demand of OBC status. He said that Patel community demand of reservation is totally baseless and Prime Minister should go deeply in the root of stir.
22 year old Hardik Patel had organised a mega rally in Ahmadabad on 25th August and demanded the OBC status to the Patel community. “Whatever has happened in Gujarat, we want to take it to the national level and there are (people of) around 12 states who are connected to us,” Hardik leader of the upper caste Patidar community, which wants to muscle its way to the quota list, told journalists in Delhi. His detention was followed by widespread violence which claimed 10 lives, including that of a police constable, forcing the rare deployment of the army to bring the situation under control.
Kurmis and Koeris, about whom Patel talked, already figure in reservation list in key Hindi heartland states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, which also has Gujjars in that category.
“The country has gone back 60 years because of reservations and this has hindered its prospects of becoming a super power. Those who score good marks but are still unable to get admission require reservation.
“Patel community is not only literate also economically sound. Patels are living In foreign more than other community”reacting on the demand of Patel community, Sharad said.
The ruling party in power has not yet come forward to say that the demand of Patels for reservation is unreasonable as no political party can afford to initiate debate on the relevance of reservation policy, leave aside revising the policy, he told.
” The government in power cannot win both sides of the coin, as it should straight away reject the demand instead of creating an acrimonious situation in the country as happened in the Patels agitation” Sharad told.
