Rahul Gandhi’s out with a bold one—he’s promised that if the INDIA alliance forms the next government, they’ll tear down the 50% cap on reservations set by the Supreme Court. This was during his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Ranchi, where he made it clear: Dalits, Adivasis, and OBCs deserve more, especially when it comes to education and jobs.
He’s also doubling down on the push for a caste census, calling it a must if the country wants to deal with long-standing social and economic inequality. And yes, he took a swipe at PM Modi too—accusing him of turning a blind eye to the struggles of backward communities by opposing the idea of a caste count.
The whole thing’s already stirring up political chatter. If this promise becomes policy, it could seriously shake up how reservation works in India—and spark some pretty heated debates along the way.
