Bengaluru, 21 Sept

State BJP leaders filed a complaint with High Ground police in Bengaluru against Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in USA over SC, ST and OBC communities.

The State unit accused Gandhi of making divisive and provocative remarks targeting the SC, ST and OBC communities, endangering India's internal security, sovereignty, unity and integrity. The State unit also sought an investigation into the statements and legal action for the same.

Earlier this month, Gandhi, while interacting with students and faculty at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, said Congress will think of scraping reservations when India becomes a 'fair place'. Dalits, Adivasis and OBC communities are still not getting participation in the system and India is not a 'fair place', Gandhi said.

He also reiterated the need to conduct a caste census while saying 90 per cent of the country's population -- OBCs, Dalits and Adivasis – are not getting proper representation in the country as there is an "elephant in the room". -ANI
