Mayawati exhibited her concern over the state of Minorities, SCs and particularly Muslims, by participating in ‘Commitment to the constitution’ debate.
As per the Chief Minister, the ambiance of “intolerance, anarchy and extremism” are building, but the government is not paying any attention. She demanded favored quota for economically-backward classes along with reservation for Dalits and Tribals in the government and the private sector.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi said a lot in his concluding remarks during the debate on Constitution (in Lok Sabha) on Friday. It would have been better if he had announced some decision to amend the Constitution for reservation to weaker sections of society in private sector and reservation for ST/SCs in promotion…(and) separate quota to the poor among the upper castes on the basis on their economic condition by amending the Constitution. But no such announcement was made,” she uttered.
