BJP staff and leaders have been favouring amendments to the Constitution and in particular the sections on reservation and social welfare. Congress and its allies agitated towards it then. The prime minister had to retract the plan.”
Shinde alleged that on one side, BJP says it worships the Constitution however on the other it acts towards it. He also alleged that the employment of Dalits was reduced greatly in the central government. “BJP does now not need SCs, STs and backward categories folks to get educated. It wants that these categories stay uneducated,” he added.

Six Dalit girls are raped on a daily basis. Twelve atrocity cases are registered every unmarried day. This means that these sections of the society are disadvantaged of elementary rights provided beneath the Constitution.
