"It is an attempt to snatch the rights of weaker sections. They are doing it to OBC and Dalits will next in line. The BJP wants to keep these sections fop society enslaved and will make sure that the next generations are remain trapped in slavery," he said.

He further said that the BJP wanted the votes of OBCs and Dalits but did not give them a chance to participate in the decision-making process.

The SP chief said that a revolution was needed on the issue of reservation and said that his party would contest the issue in Supreme Court, if needed.
