Updated : Oct 3, 2016
Raj Thackeray the chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena said reservation based on the caste should be scrapped. He alleged that former Prime Minister VP Singh was the "culprit" who brought in the reservation system and "poisoned" the country. "Reservation based on the caste should be scrapped. The reservation should be given only for the economically backward. Whenever I get the opportunity to meet the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi), I will request him to give reservation to those who are economically backward irrespective of the caste," Raj said while addressing a gathering in Thane.
