Responding to his statement on reservation in America, Rahul Gandhi clarified that he has never been against it. BSP chief Mayawati called his clarification misleading. She stated that for ten years before BJP, Congress ruled the center but failed to pass the SC/ST reservation bill with SP's collaboration.
Former UP CM remarked that Rahul Gandhi's claim about increasing the reservation limit above 50 percent is deceitful. If Congress were genuinely committed, they would have achieved this during their tenure. Congress neither properly implemented OBC nor SC/ST reservations.
The BSP Chief asserted that Congress makes grand promises about the welfare of the neglected SC/ST/OBC classes when out of power, but works against their interests when in power. People should remain alert to their schemes.
Rahul Gandhi affirmed, "We are going to extend reservation beyond 50 percent. I have reiterated many times that I have never opposed reservation. Unfortunately, someone misrepresented my words as being against reservation. Let me clarify, I am not against it."

What did Rahul Gandhi say?
At Georgetown University in America, during a Q&A session with students, Rahul Gandhi made a significant statement on reservation. When asked about the continued reservation based on caste, Rahul said Congress might consider ending reservation only when there is fairness. Currently, the situation does not reflect that.

Rahul pointed out that financial statistics show that tribals receive 10 paise out of every 100 rupees, Dalits get 5 rupees, and OBCs receive a similar amount, indicating their lack of participation. The fundamental issue is that 90 percent of the population lacks equal opportunities. When reviewing lists of business leaders, it is difficult to find names of tribals, Dalits, or OBCs. He believes there is only one OBC among the top 200 business leaders.
