Former Haryana chief minister and senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda has hit back at the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP)’s charge that the grand old party is planning to end reservations in the country. He said that it is the saffron party that wanted to win 400 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to change the Constitution, and thereby end reservations.

In this interview with The Wire’s Sravasti Dasgupta, ahead of the Haryana assembly elections, Hooda said that the state’s ‘chhattis biradri (36 communities)” are with the Congress and denied any internal rift in the party despite speculation around Sirsa MP Kumari Selja’s discontent.
