Patna: In politics, changing parties or going back on promises or changing one’s thinking has become a common thing. But Nitish Kumar is discussed in the name of flip-flopping. These days, discussions about the ideological flip-flopping of LJP (R) president Chirag Paswan, who often accuses Nitish Kumar of flip-flopping, have intensified in political circles. In fact, Chirag Paswan has denied the reservation of SC-ST categories in sub-categories from one side.
What did Chirag Paswan say?
Looking at the profit and loss in the upcoming assembly elections, Chirag Paswan also appeared to be standing with vote politics. Chirag does not support the Supreme Court’s decision on SC-ST reservation. Union Food Processing Minister Chirag Paswan clearly refused to support the Supreme Court’s decision regarding quota within quota and creamy layer in reservation for Scheduled Castes and Tribes and said that Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) is not in favor of the Supreme Court’s decision in the matter of SC-ST reservation. The court should reconsider this decision, so that discrimination is not created among the SC-ST class and the society is not weakened.
What did Chirag say in the year 2016?
Lok Janshakti Party (R) leader and Jamui MP Chirag Paswan had appealed to the rich Dalits to voluntarily give up reservation. Then Chirag said that the rich section of Dalits should give up reservation in the same way as the rich people of the country are giving up gas subsidy.
Chirag said that ‘In my opinion, people coming from decent financial background should give up reservation. This will give opportunities to the rest of the people of this community to move forward and do better. Actually, those who really need reservation will get maximum help.’ However, Chirag also said that this should be encouraged not by making a law, but by making people aware.
Why did Chirag turn suddenly?
In fact, whatever the situation of reservation is, no party can directly oppose it. This is because no party can say even a single word against the reservation being given to backward castes or scheduled castes. By doing this, one will have to face the displeasure of 17 percent votes. It is a natural understanding that no one can take such a risk during elections.
