At a press conference here on Thursday, the BJP district general secretary, R. Raghavendranath Yadav, BJP Mahila Morcha district president, Nivedita Vaze and town president G. Vijay termed the GO 33 which provided for the reservation as "communal".

Charging that the GO was another attempt to divide the nation on communal lines, the BJP leaders demanded its scrapping.
