BJP MPs, mostly from Other Backward Classes, on Tuesday took out a march from Parliament complex to Vijay Chowk here protesting against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s comments on the ‘Modi surname’ and demanded his apology.

The ruling party’s ‘OBC Morcha’ also announced a campaign between April 6, the party’s foundation day, and April 14, Dr. B R Ambedkar’s birth anniversary, against Gandhi’s ‘insulting’ remarks against the backward castes and to highlight the ‘historic’ decisions of the Modi Government for the community’s welfare.

BJP workers will reach out to one crore households across one lakh villages in the country, Morcha president K Laxman told reporters here. BJP President J P Nadda will launch the campaign from Manesar in Haryana, he said.

He said from giving the constitutional status to the OBC Commission, which was ‘toothless’ in the long rule of the Congress, to giving reservation to the community in educational institutions and filling up thousands of backlog vacancies in universities, the Modi government has taken many historic decisions to uplift the community. These decisions will help boost their living standards, the senior BJP leader who is also a member of its parliamentary board said.
