'SC, ST, OBC have always been cheated by the royal family of Congress', Dharmendra Pradhan hits back at Rahul's 'NFS' attack:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He said that Rahul Gandhi and the entire Congress party have become the biggest brand ambassadors of lies and deceit in the country today. SC, ST and OBC have always been deceived by the Congress royal family, but the prince does not know the deprived and anti-Dalit history of his own family. In fact, Rahul Gandhi called NFS (Not Found Suitable) a new Manuvaad and alleged that qualified candidates of SC-ST-OBC category are being deliberately declared ineligible. Countering this, Dharmendra Pradhan alleged that Congress appears with a bundle full of lies for the prince on the basis of an imported toolkit.

'Congress deprived the Dalits, backward and exploited of their rights'

The Education Minister said, even after ruling for a long time, Congress kept Dalits, backward and exploited people deprived of their rights. When UPA government left in 2014, 57% SC, 63% ST and 60% OBC teacher posts were vacant in central universities, which Prime Minister Modi's government has filled as soon as it came to power. Also, the Modi government has increased the number of teacher posts from 16,217 in 2014 to 18,940. The number of vacant posts which was 37% in 2014 is 25.95% today and the process of filling these vacant posts is still going on in the government of Honorable Prime Minister Modi.

He further said, during the Congress tenure of 2004-14, there were only 83 SC, 14 ST and 166 OBC faculty in IITs, while only 261 SC, 72 ST and 334 appointments were made in NITs. During the Modi government's tenure of 2014-24, 398 SC, 99 ST and 746 OBC teachers were appointed in IITs and 929 SC, 265 ST and 1510 OBC teachers were appointed in NITs. The Modi government abolished the requirement of PhD for Assistant Professor.

'Posts reserved for SC-ST and OBC will not be filled by any other category'

The Education Minister said, the NFS - 'Not Found Suitable' that Rahul Gandhi is talking about, was the result of the anti-Dalit, anti-exploited and anti-deprived Congress thinking that did politics in the name of Babasaheb. This NFS was continuing till now due to the policy of the Congress after independence, due to which the rights of SC, ST and OBC were violated. To free the deprived class from that injustice, the government of Prime Minister Modi ji, dedicated to social justice, for the first time brought The Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teacher's Cadre) Act, 2019, after which NFS is now history. Now the posts reserved for SC, ST and OBC category will not be filled by any other category, this is the gift of Prime Minister Modi. Along with this, the Modi government has also ended the bottlenecks in the reservation of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, socially and economically backward classes, which the previous Congress governments could never do.

'Congress sees everything in yellow colour'

He said, Congress party has jaundice, that is why they see everything in yellow colour, or you can say that they see bad in every good thing. Congress party which takes the name of constitution on every issue is itself the biggest attack on Baba Saheb's constitution and today the youth of the country knows that if anyone has done the work of real social justice, then it is the government of Prime Minister Modi and no matter how many lies Congress spreads, the youth of the country have unwavering faith in the Honorable Prime Minister Modi.
