JP Nadda demolishes Rahul Gandhi’s tropes on OBC secretaries

3 min read

On twenty first September, Bhartiya Janata Party president Jagat Prakash Nadda (JP Nadda) schooled Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on his remark concerning the low variety of OBCs (Other Backward Class) in secretaries. Responding to his feedback in Lok Sabha on twentieth September, Nadda stated, “How many secretaries were OBCs from 2004 to 2014? A leader will have to be a leader, tutor will not work out.”

Questioning Gandhi’s data of parliamentary and authorities issues, Nadda stated, “I say it repeatedly. The leader has to become a leader. Tutoring cannot work all the time. These tutored statements do not work. It could have worked if the tutor was a leader. But they [Congress] bring an NGO to tutor. These NGOs have zero knowledge and give you statements. What you do? You say those things [in the parliament] ‘I was shocked and shattered’. It was obvious you were shocked. You did not read the details.”

Nadda reminded Gandhi that it was in 1992 when the Supreme Court handed an order to present reservations to OBCs in All India Services, and the primary SC/ST and OBCs class batch joined the Services in 1995-96. Considering the dates and the present cut-off yr for the empanelment of secretaries, that’s, 1992, the secretaries current are the individuals earlier than the 1992 batch. He stated, “In 1992, the Supreme Court said that you should give reservation to OBCs in All India Services. In 1995-96, the SC/ST and OBCs category joined the Services. Today, the cut-off year for the empanelment of secretaries is 1992. The secretaries present are the people before the 1992 batch. How many secretaries were at OBC from 2004 to 2014? A leader will have to be a leader; tutor will not work out.”

On twentieth September, Gandhi stated, “I was shocked to find out that out of 90 secretaries in the government of India, only three are OBCs. These secretaries only control 5 per cent of the budget. If the country’s budget is 44 lakh crore, then 2.4 lakh crore controls it.”

Furthermore, Nadda identified that the BJP gave the nation its first OBC Prime Minister. He stated, “BJP and NDA gave the first OBC Prime Minister for India, and that is Narendra Modi. They talk about OBC. Out of 303 BJP MPs, 85 are OBC, which makes 29 per cent. Out of 1358 MLAs, 27 per cent are OBCs. Out of 163 MLCs, 40 per cent are OBCs. We have more OBC MPs than the total number of Congress MPs in the Lok Sabha.”

Home Minister Amit Shah had earlier schooled Rahul Gandhi on the identical assertion. HM Shah stated, “One of my colleagues (Rahul Gandhi) was saying that the number of those who run the country is three who belong to the OBC category. Now who will make him (Rahul Gandhi) understand that the government runs the country, not the secretaries.” He added, “You (Rahul Gandhi) are not here to listen, but I want to tell you that 29 per cent of MPs in our party belong to the OBC community. If you want to do a comparison, just come to us.” He additional added that there are 29 ministers who belong to the neighborhood. Out of 1358 MLAs, 365 MLAs within the BJP belong to the OBC neighborhood.

Gandhi, who tried to focus on the ruling celebration, claiming they didn’t handle the OBCs, was brutally refuted by the ministers and senior BJP leaders as he had didn’t get his details and numbers proper within the first place.
