Anil Vij slams Congress over 4% Muslim reservation in Karnataka, calls it 'divisive politics'
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, March 22, 2025: Haryana’s Energy, Transport, and Labour Minister, Anil Vij, has strongly opposed the Karnataka government's decision to grant 4% reservation to Muslims in government works, calling it unjustified.
He accused the Congress of trying to divide the country once again, stating, "Muslims ruled over us for 400 years, yet Congress is giving them special concessions. This move is condemnable and part of a larger conspiracy."
Vij made these remarks while responding to media queries about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent comments on caste-based census. Comparing Congress’ approach to society, he said, "Congress has mixed curd in the milk of society to break it apart. Divisiveness is in their character."
Congress Accused of Repeating History
Vij alleged that Congress was responsible for the partition of India in 1947 and is now attempting to divide the country again. He stated, "They divided the land but kept the people. Their latest actions show they are still playing the same dangerous game."
Congress Leadership Under Fire
Taking a dig at the party’s leadership crisis, Vij criticized Congress for failing to appoint a Leader of Opposition even 5.5 months after the assembly elections.
"Even if Congress had won, they would have spent months just deciding a Chief Minister. Their leadership is incompetent and directionless," he remarked.
Jibe at Kejriwal Over Punjab Governance
Vij also targeted Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal over AAP’s governance in Punjab, using a Hindi proverb: "Jahaan-jahaan paanv pade santan ke, vahaan-vahaan bantaadhaar hai" (Wherever the saint’s feet land, destruction follows). He accused Kejriwal of ruining Delhi and now doing the same in Punjab.
As political debates over reservations and governance intensify, Vij’s comments have added fuel to the ongoing controversy, setting the stage for further confrontations between the BJP and Congress.
