"He (Bhagwat) always says controversial things. He had earlier said reservation should be reviewed and that it should end. This has been his habit. His people should take care of him or masses will reform him," Leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said after an all-party meeting called by the Speaker.
In the wake of the Jat agitation in Harayana over quota, Bhagwat today suggested that a non-political committee be formed to decide on eligibility for reservation.
The JD(U) also condemned the "repeated efforts" of Bhagwat to abolish the ongoing reservation policy.
"This is not for the first time that such a statement to review the reservation policy has been made by the BJP or the RSS leader...Such statements made by BJP and RSS leaders are against the spirit of Constitution," JD(U) leader K C Tyagi said in a statement.
