Bhagwat’s reservation remark exposes RSS’s true face, says Lalu Yadav

Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Monday lashed out at Rashtriya Sawayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remark on reservation, saying that it has exposed the right-wing organisation’s true face.

Lalu also said that Bhagwat had put his hand in ‘Ajgar ka bil’ (Python’s lair) by making such a statement.

“This remark has exposed their true face. I have been saying that these people are against reservation. At a time when Bihar elections are due, you (Bhagwat) are making such lowly statements. I warn him, he has tried to provoke SC/STs of India. It is our birth right. He has tried to put his finger in python’s lair (Ajgar ka bil),” Lalu told ANI.

According to reports, the RSS chief had yesterday called for review of the reservation policy in the country and said that it was being used by parties to meet political ends.

He also reportedly suggested setting up of a committee to examine the existing reservation policy.
