Gave upper castes EWS quota, says BJP spox; reservation-reform protesters hit back

BJP spokesperson Ajay Alok said Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed upper-caste concerns by introducing the 10% Economically Weaker Sections quota in 2019. "You received a 10% reservation under the Economically Weaker Sections quota because Modi ji cares about every section of society," he said. Activists hit back, sparking a fresh row.
