Mayawati said, the decision showing BJP’s anti-reservation mentality
Mayawati has given a statement that the decision of the Hon’ble High Court to take cognizance of the government’s performance in the much-awaited civic elections in UP regarding reservation given to OBCs as a constitutional right, is in true sense the anti-OBC and anti-reservation thinking of the BJP and its government. And it shows the mindset.
He said that the UP government had to follow the instructions of the Supreme Court with full devotion and honesty and finalize the process of elections by determining the system of OBC reservation through triple test, which was not done properly. OBC society will definitely punish BJP for this mistake.
First there should be reservation for the backward and then there should be elections.
Earlier, the SP issued a statement saying that the BJP government had betrayed the backward people. This is BJP’s conspiracy to destroy the constitution given by Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar. In order to kill the rights of backward and Dalits in civic elections, the BJP government wrongly made reservation. First there should be reservation for the backward, then there should be elections.
The BJP government betrayed the backward people!
Conspiracy of BJP to end the constitution given by Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar.
In order to kill the rights of backward and Dalits in civic elections, the BJP government wrongly made reservation.
First there should be reservation for the backward, then there should be elections.

Unfortunate decision to end reservation
SP leader Ramgopal Yadav has accused the government of not lobbying properly in the court. He tweeted that the decision to end reservation for OBCs in civic elections is unfortunate. This is a conspiracy of the Uttar Pradesh government. The facts were deliberately not presented before the court. He said that by doing this the government deprived 60 percent of the population of UP from reservation. BJP’s OBC ministers are tongue-tied on this decision. He said that the condition of Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya is like a bonded labourer.
UP minister said – Without reservation body election is not right
Apna Dal (S) working president and cabinet minister Ashish Patel said that civic body elections without OBC reservation are not fair from any point of view. We are studying the judgment given by the Lucknow High Court in this context. If needed, Apna Dal (S) will approach the Supreme Court for the rights of OBCs.
The government deliberately made wrong reservation to kill the rights of the backward: Sanjay Singh
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) state in-charge and MP Sanjay Singh has accused the government of deliberately making wrong reservations after the High Court’s decision on holding municipal elections. He said that the decision of the High Court has made it clear that BJP is against Dalits, backward and exploited classes. He said that if the government conducts elections without giving reservation to the backward, then you will agitate. The AAP MP said that when reservation was to be given by setting up a commission, why did the government not do so. He said why the BJP is killing the rights of the backward. The government first snatched reservation in jobs and now it is snatching reservation in elections.
