“The Congress is spreading lies about the BJP hatching a ‘conspiracy’ to end the reservation. However, if the BJP does something like that, I will not only leave the BJP, but also quit politics,” Ramesh Jigajinagi, MP and BJP leader, said in Vijayapura on Friday.

He told reporters that for several decades, Congress had won a series of elections by keeping the voters in the dark. Some Congress leaders keep intimidating Dalit voters by saying the BJP would end reservation one day. “They paint a scary picture of the BJP being involved in a ‘conspiracy’ to end caste-based reservations, but that is not true. The reservation facility can never be removed. It is our constitutionally guaranteed right. However, if the BJP does that, I will not stay there. Why should I stay in such a party? In fact, I will quit public service and stay at home,” he said.
