The BJP OBC Morcha activists led by president, Surath Biswal staged a demonstration against Rahul Gandhi in front of the Ram Mandir in Bhubaneswar. The leader also demanded an apology from the senior Congress leader over his remarks.

“We (BJP) have never asked Rahul Gandhi about his caste or the caste of his mother and other family members. But he (Rahul) is asking about the caste of PM Modi who has given rights and recognition to the OBCs in the country. Rahul Gandhi’s statements clearly show his immaturity,” said Biswal.

Meanwhile, no comments were received from the Congress over the BJP OBC Morcha leader’s statements.
