Why did the BJP oppose RSS chief?

Rajesh Ramachandran / ET
It is not normal for BJP to oppose an RSS initiative. And that too when the suggestion comes from the RSS chief. But Mohan Bhagwat’s proposal to review reservation in education and jobs is too hot for BJP to handle during Bihar polls that it has put out an official statement saying that, “the BJP very firmly supports the Constitutional reservation for the SC, ST, OBC, backwards and extremely backward class.”

Even if Bhagwat’s concern is genuine, it would be perceived as upper caste bias because RSS is one organisation which still has not opened its leadership to Dalits and backward castes. more
