'Conspiracy being hatched against backwards'

New Delhi, March 28: Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav on Tuesday alleged a “deep conspiracy” behind changing the me of the tiol Commission for Backward Classes and said the government was running away from discussion on the subject.
“There is a deep conspiracy behind changing the me of the Backward Classes Commission. Now the government will decide which castes would remain in the backward category, and that too without any survey,” Yadav told reporters outside Parliament.
The government has said that the tiol Commission for Socially and Educatiolly Backward Classes would replace the tiol Commission for Backward Classes.
The Rajya Sabha has been seeing repeated adjournments over the issue since Monday. On Tuesday, too, the upper House was adjourned over the issue.
“There is a conspiracy in this against a large section of population, against the backwards,” he added. Yadav said the backward castes were decided on the basis of an extensive survey by the Mandal Commission, but the present government wants to deprive certain castes of the benefits of reservation.
He said the rendra Modi government has not been making new appointments to the vacant posts in various Commissions for the margilised, such as the Backward Classes Commission and tiol Minorities Commission.
“There are no chairpersons, no members in many of these Commissions for a long time now. We are asking the government when these positions will be filled and why the me of the Commission has been changed,” Yadav said. (IANS)
