No Community has got the social justice from the Congress party but it has been making politics while giving internal reservation for the scheduled caste, said former chief minister and Gadag-Haveri Lok Sabha constituency BJP candidate Basavaraj Bommai.

Speaking at the awareness meeting of dalit community leaders here on Monday, he said since independence, the Congress party has been using dalit community as it’s vote bank and doing politics without giving them internal reservation. Despite demand for several years for the hike in quota, the Congress party neglected it. During the previous BJP government, the reservation for the SCa was hiked from 15 per to 17 per cent and for the STs from three per cent to seven percent. “As MP, I will strive hard to get justice for the communities in Lok sabha”.

Sri Basavamurthy Swamiji of Maadara Chennaiah Gurupeeta said the demand for internal reservation has been there for many years and there was pro and anti opinions about it. But without bothering about it, Basavaraj Bommai took a bold decision to ensure social justice for the Dalit community. Apart from this, he took a historic decision to hike reservation for the SCs/STs. The Dalit officials had been given top posts in the BJP regime. A piece of land has been donated to the Maadara Chennaiah Mutt in Bengaluru. Hence, the community must support Basavaraj Bommai and send him to Lok Sabha without any hesitation.
