JP Nadda replies to Rahul Gandhi's '3 OBCs among 90 bureaucrats' dig at BJP

BJP president J P Nadda on Thursday came down heavily on the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi for demanding an OBC quota within the reservation for women lawmakers, saying it was the BJP-led NDA that gave the country its first prime minister from the Other Backward Classes.

In an apparent jibe at Rahul Gandhi, Nadda while speaking in Rajya Sabha Jadda said, Congress did not bother about the OBCs while it was ruling the country.

Nadda further said that the officials in question were appointed before 1992, the year when OBC reservation in services was implemented only after the Supreme Court asked for it in 1992.

Mocking Gandhi, Nadda, alleged that the leader also said "a leader will have to become a leader" and that taking help from a tutor is not enough.
