    NEW DELHI: BJP on Friday rejected Rahul Gandhi‘s statement regretting that he could not get the UPA regime to conduct a caste census in its 10 year-tenure at the Centre.“He makes it look like a confession but it actually is a camouflage, because the real problem is Congress leadership’s DNA. It started with Nehru ji who got B R Ambedkar defeated twice to ensure the lead author of the Constitution and the inspiration for our Dalits did not enter Parliament. Indira Gandhi hounded another great Dalit leader, Jagjivan Ram out of the party and Sonia Gandhi humiliated Sitaram Kesri. Rahul’s crocodile tears cannot obscure these facts,” said Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan.“Successive generations of Congress leadership have been against reservation. Nehru ji wrote to CMs to make the false claim that quotas hurt efficiency and Rahul Gandhi spoke for hours in Lok Sabha to oppose the implementation of the Mandal commission and incited caste riots. As against this, an OBC from BJP, Narendra Modi, has led three consecutive govts at the Centre, to become the longest-serving PM after Nehru ji,” Pradhan further said.He also accused Rahul of making false claims about vacant reserved posts for SCs/STs and OBCs in central universities. “Rahul Gandhi has lied once again today… I asked him openly to speak either in Parliament or outside on how many ‘not found suitable’ categories were converted into general in their tenure and PM Modi’s tenure. He also said that posts are lying vacant in central institutions… There has been a record campaign to fill posts which is ongoing. Congress is anti-OBC, SC, ST,” said the minister.He and BJP spokesman Sudhanshu Trivedi also took on Congress for its opposition to the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar. On a day when the Congress president tore off a document supposed to symbolise EC’s SIR, Pradhan said, “This proved they all copy the leadership’s negative politics. Rahul had torn off the copy of an ordinance which had been approved by the Cabinet and cleared by the President. Kharge saheb had to show his loyalty by shredding what they called SIR when EC, a constitutional body, is acting as per Constitution and law of the land”.Trivedi said Kharge’s “protest” reflects their “mindset” of recognising constitutional bodies on the basis “of whether they won elections”. He said: “If Indira ji said the recognition of constitutional bodies would be decided on the basis of whether she won elections or not, today Rahul says EC’s credibility would be decided on the basis of whether his party won elections or not”.
