Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has committed to safeguarding India's Constitution and reservation system, declaring that his party will defend these pillars "at any cost" after the UPSC lateral entry cancellation. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on August 20, Gandhi emphasised that Congress would fiercely oppose BJP's "lateral entry" schemes, which he described as conspiracies to undermine the existing reservation framework. Gandhi reiterated his stance on breaking the 50% reservation limit to ensure social justice based on caste-based census data. "We will ensure social justice by breaking the 50% reservation limit, based on caste enumeration," he stated. His post comes shortly after the centre cancelled the UPSC lateral entry on August 20. ‘Samvidhan Ki Jeet Hui’: Congress Applauds Centre’s Request to UPSC Regarding the Cancellation of Lateral Entry Ad.
Rahul Gandhi Reacts After Centre's U-Turn on Lateral Entry
संविधान और आरक्षण व्यवस्था की हम हर कीमत पर रक्षा करेंगे।
भाजपा की ‘लेटरल एंट्री’ जैसी साजिशों को हम हर हाल में नाकाम कर के दिखाएंगे।
मैं एक बार फिर कह रहा हूं - 50% आरक्षण सीमा को तोड़ कर हम जातिगत गिनती के आधार पर सामाजिक न्याय सुनिश्चित करेंगे।
जय हिन्द।
