In Bilaspur, Rahul Gandhi spoke on the recently passed Women Reservation Bill and repeated his words from Lok Sabha where he talked about only 3 OBC secretaries working in government.
He targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked why he was afraid of the caste census. "The Government of India is being run by secretaries and cabinet secretaries. Only 3 out of 90 secretaries in the government of India are OBCs.
