i can say this with certainty that any UC individual who knows about INC retrogressive stand on reservation will not vote for it. But congress thinks it will work in favour of it by aligning OBC towards it, which I doubt it. Because ‘threat’ spreads like wildfire. And this is a threat for UC. But It is not so much of attraction for OBC and SC, ST. We have seen how this played out in MP, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh.
I believe any individual finding it difficult to get a job or aggravated by the lack of govt job would’ve already voted for INDIA alliance. Congress foolishly snubbed UC votes. I know it first hand. UC has the largest Unemployement rate among its population. And each individual affects its whole family.
All this reservation sigufa was because of nitish and lalu parties which are nothing but caste based parties. How congress thought it would be helpful for it is beyond my understanding. It has already misfired which is apparent when Rahul uses “garib general cast” in his recent speeches. Rahul gandhi doesn’t understand indian society. He lacks political acumen as well. Since it is seen that BJP is losing its appeal in all sections of society, this foolish stand of congress is a much needed breather for the BJP.
Rahul is nothing but a prince, and he certainly has no vision and will, usually resort to appeasement to compensate for his lack of understanding of politics. Raga world understanding keep revolving around Gandhi, Nehru cliche principles. He has no understanding of his own, no free thinking etc. Those who keep harping on the name of Gandhi and Nehru don’t have faith in their ability to reason and they find those names as a shortcut to pass on their faulty thoughts and compensate for their lack of their own free thoughts.
I am saying all this being an UC myself. I want INDIA alliance to win, basically because I don’t like Modi dictatorship. But I also don’t like Pappu as well.
