Abhijeet Dipke Targets JP Nadda over Talks with ‘Reservation Hatao’ Team, Seeks Clarity: ‘What Does PM Have to Say’
Nadda said the talks were cordial and that the government and activists will meet again on September 7 to continue discussions on reservation reform.
- On Thursday, Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda met with a delegation from the Reservation Hatao Andolan to discuss demands following their August 21 protest at Jantar Mantar against caste-based reservation.
- Mobilized via social media with more than 5 million Instagram followers, the movement advocates for state assistance based on economic hardship rather than caste and seeks a comprehensive review of the existing reservation structure.
- Harsh Dubey, Ran Bahadur Singh Chauhan, and Mrityunjay Pathak presented their case during the "cordial" meeting, having previously consulted with Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak in Lucknow.
- Both sides agreed to continue talks scheduled for September 7, though protesters warned they would organize larger demonstrations at Jantar Mantar if their demands remain unaddressed.
- The BJP considers addressing upper-caste concerns a priority, as these communities constitute over 20% of Uttar Pradesh's electorate; sources warn even a 2-3% shift could damage electoral prospects.
