Jaihind, who was the chief guest at the Parivartan Pratigya Diwas organised by party’s OBC wing to mark party leader Priyanka Gandhi’s birthday here, said, “Country’s PM is making statement regarding Somnath Temple but what about China that is infiltrating into our land.”

On Uttar Pradesh, he said, “The recent one where a mother was killed while shielding her daughter from abductors speaks about the law and order in the state.”

Jaihind further said the Congress and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi are committed to ensuring that the OBC community receives a share in all constitutional institutions and resources across the country proportionate to their population.

“The OBC department has appointed 6 in-charges in Uttar Pradesh to raise awareness among the OBC community on every issue and prepare them for movements to secure their rights,” he said.

Addressing the gathering, Manoj Yadav, chairman of party’s OBC wing in UP, said: “Our 10-point programme includes door-to-door Constitution awareness, ‘Save MGNREGA’ campaign, dialogue with OBC youth in universities, campaign against deletion of votes under SIR, social justice dialogue and padayatra.”
