" NDA under leership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji will not allow this to happen. Congress, Lalu Pras and Mamata Banerjee are against reservations to backward classes," he alleged.
"y have been exposed”, he said, referring to a Calcutta High Court order that cancelled OBC certificates issued by state govt since 2010.
Calcutta High Court on Wednesday termed as illegal OBC status of several classes in West Bengal granted since 2010, sparking a political debate amid Lok Sabha elections.

court observed that inclusion of 77 classes of Muslims in list of backward categories was to “treat m as a vote bank” Shah also said, "If CPI-ML (Liberation) candidate wins from Arrah Lok Sabha seat, Naxalism will once again return to Bihar." RK Singh, as a BJP candidate, is seeking re-election from Arrah Lok Sabha constituency, while CPI-ML (Liberation) nominated Sudama Pras as a 'Mahagathbandhan' candidate.
