During the press conference, Minister Sanjay Nishad, while giving his response to the Etawah Katha episode, said that the Constitution protects the rights of all classes, and should not be political misuse.
Taking a dig at the SP-BSP, he said that Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar had recommended the inclusion of 66 ethnic groups in the Scheduled Castes under Section 342 of the Constitution, but the SP-BSP governments gave benefits to some of them and did social injustice by putting the rest in backward classes.
The minister alleged that in the last 30 years, the SP-BSP governments neither understood nor implemented the Constitution properly. He said that those who take oath to protect the Constitution, are doing politics on constitutional values.
He also reminded that at the time of constitution making, the upper classes had laid a strong foundation of social harmony by giving priority to the lower classes.
