10% quota bill strengthens govt's ‘Sabka sath sabka vikas’ claim: Modi

The Prime Minister's visit to Sholapur is seen as a move to boost BJP's election campaign ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha Polls. During the event, the PM also spoke about the upper caste reservation bill, which was passed in Lok Sabha on Tuesday. "Yesterday late night, a historic bill was passed in Lok Sabha. By passing the bill regarding 10% reservation being granted to economically weaker section in the general category, our principle of ‘Sabka sath sabka vikas’ has been further strengthened," he said.
