Bihar BJP spokesperson Danish Ikbal said that those who advocate for Muslim reservation are completely anti-constitutional as it's clear in the Constitution that reservation based on religion is not allowed.
The BJP leaders have been attacking Congress accusing it of providing reservation to Muslims from the SC/ST/OBC quota in Karnataka. Lalu Yadav's statement gave the BJP a fresh weapon. However, realising the repercussions of his statement amid the Lok Sabha polls, Lalu Yadav retracted his remarks hours later.
"I implemented the 'Mandal Commission'. Reservation is social-based and not religion-based. Atal Bihari Vajpayee constituted the Constitution Review Commission... They (NDA) are saying 400-plus to induce psychological pressure, they won't even cross 200," said Lalu Yadav.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that he won't allow reservation based on religion till he is alive. Modi said that he won't allow reservation for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and backward classes to go to the Muslim community.
