Chitradurga: State Kannada and culture minister C T Ravi has said opined that the reservation policy will be there as long as social evil like untouchability is in practice.
Addressing the media on Sunday, February 16 he said, “Till the social evil like the untouchability exists on this planet, the reservation policy would help in the uplift of the oppressed. Under the Indian Constitution, the reservations are not meant for those who are economically stable or hail from the upper class, but it is for those who are battling oppression.”
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always stood for reservation. But, it is the Congress leaders who are creating nuisance and trying to spread fake information that PM Modi is against reservation policies”, he added.
