Amit Shah dares Rahul Gandhi to make quota formula for Patidars public

TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ BJP President Amit Shah has dared Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi to make public the quota formula that the opposition party has sealed with the PatidarBSE -3.92 % Andolan Anamat Samiti (PAAS) to give reservations to the Patidar community. “If possible they (Congress) should public it. He (Rahul) is coming here tomorrow. Let him make the formula public,” Shah said at the India TV conclave here.

“They should come with a draft and let there be a debate among constitutional experts like Harish Salve and Soli Sorabjee and not between (Congress’) Kapil Sibal or (BJP’s) Ravi Shankar Prasad. If they don’t make it public, the people of Gujarat will feel cheated,” he added.

Shah said that his Bharatiya Janata Party will never resort to false promises. “We do not make false promises to win elections,” he said. The BJP chief said that the firing on Patidar protesters resulting in deaths was sad and unfortunate and a judicial probe headed by a retired High Court judge has been ordered. “Those responsible will be punished. No one will be spared,” he said.
