Workers and leaders of Maharashtra BJP on Friday held state-wide protests against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on reservation during his visit to the US.
While Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule said it was necessary to stage a protest to tell people about Gandhi's mentality against reservation, Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat accused the saffron party of spreading fake news and doing "nautanki" (drama).
Gandhi, who is in the US, told students of Georgetown University that the Congress would think of scrapping reservations when India is a fair place, which he said is not the case right now.
During a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, the Leader of Opposition alleged that democracy in India for the last 10 years was broken, but now it is fighting back.
The BJP announced a state-wide protest over Gandhi's "anti-reservation" remarks.
