Congress conspiring to usurp SC`s quota rights

Patna: BJP today accused the Centre of
conspiring to usurp the rights for quota enjoyed by scheduled
castes in the Constitution by sticking to its stand on
including converted dalit Christians and Muslims in SC fold.

"The Congress-led UPA government is adamant to cover the
converted minorities and Christians within the quota fixed for
scheduled castes under the Constitution," BJP general
secretary T C Gehlot told reporters here.

Gehlot, also a member of the SC Reservation Rights
protection Manch, said the organisation would conduct `Honour
Constitution` functions in every district in the state between
November 26, 2009 and January 26, 2010 to "awaken the
scheduled castes against the sinister design of the Congress".
