I have no issue whatsoever with giving reservations to SC/ST and EBCs. However I would like to see this linked with economic condition of the person.
I start to get suspicious when a party starts using this social inequality to extend its base.Forgive me but We Biharis have seen too many such messiahs. When people like Yogendra Yadav ( who had the audacity to actually defend Lalu after his 15 years ) start talking about social injustice, I have every right to question the credibility of AAP as a party when they employ Yogendra Yadav as their "Chanakya"...
I don't deny that a lot of @ssholes use the messiah card. And shining examples of people who have used to 'promote' equality like lalu, mayawati etc. But I have also begun to believe that history moves in phases. At the time when lalu became CM, for someone of a lower cast to become a CM itself was so difficult that that was the accomplishment. 'Power at last'- symbolic achievement. And then when the castes felt more secure, they moved up in expectations, asking for development. Like in maslows hierarchy- doesn't matter if he doesn't deliver but he has climbed all the way to the top.
