Uma Bharti wants quota for Dalits, BCs, SCs

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janshakti Party president Uma Bharti on Sunday demanded quota for Dalits, Backward Classes and Scheduled Tribes in the women’s reservation bill.

Talking to journalists after her party’s national executive meeting, Ms. Bharti said she would launch an agitation against the parties opposed to earmarking quota for women of weaker sections and BCs in the bill. Extending support to JD(U) president Sharad Yadav’s demand for empowering BC and ST women, she said Mr. Yadav should not feel “apologetic” about his views.

Ms. Bharti found fault with both the Congress and the BJP for not including women from the BCs and the STs in their organisations.
