Kancha Ilaiah has also actively supported Rahul Gandhi’s campaign for the protection of the constitution and was seen along the former Congress president during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.In a recent blog post, Dr Ilaiah has slammed the BJP’s “pretension” of furthering the OBC agenda through token representations while also criticising the Congress’s negligence towards the community, which he claimed caused the weakening of the party.”… in their hundred years of history, the BJP-RSS combine has not produced a single leader like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel or Kamaraj Nadar from their organisation or party. Most of their OBC leaders were small, dependent leaders of no stature, who were given some visible political positions only after the Mandal period, more particularly after they started the Ram Temple movement,” he wrote.”No OBC leader from RSS or BJP is known for leading an agrarian movement. Every ideological issue was decided by the Brahmin leaders in RSS. The only leader, as the media now tells us, as the leader of decision-making capacity is said to be Modi, that too during his first term as Prime Minister. His second term onward, he is also going by the RSS direction,” he added.
