\nBJP chief Amit Shah on Sunday asserted that the SC\/ST Act and the reservation in jobs would remain in force till the party-led government was in power.<\/p>\n
He said the election season would kick in soon and the Congress would use the opportunity to spread \u201clies\u201d about the Modi government.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the coming days, the Congress will spread lies to mislead people. Sometimes they will say the SC\/ST Act is being abolished; on other occasions, they will say the reservation (system) is being scrapped.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to clearly say that the SC\/ST Act and reservation will remain in force till the BJP government is in power,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The BJP chief was addressing a public rally in Chhattisgarh, which goes to the polls by the year-end.<\/p>\n
He hit out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi for seeking an account of the work done by the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre in the past four years, but not speaking about the 55 years the Congress ruled the country.<\/p>\n
“Rahul baba, why are you asking for our account of four years? We do not need to give you any account. We will give an account of every minute and every paisa to people when we go to them seeking votes… People of this country want to know why development did not take place during the 55-year rule of four generations of your family,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
