Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) President Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said the Sangh Parivar never opposed reservations extended to certain groups, and has always supported reservations as per the Constitution.

Bhagwat said the Sangh is of the opinion that the reservations should be extended as long as they are needed.

“I got to know when I came here that a video is being circulated that people of Sangh (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) say this from outside but from inside they don’t support reservation. We cannot speak about this outside. This is completely false.,” Bhagwat said.

“RSS has been supporting reservations as per the Constitution since the time it came. The Sangh says that reservations should continue till the time people will need them. The video shows me holding a meeting but this has never happened. However, it has been shown with the help of technology and AI,”  the RSS President further said at a programme at an educational institute in Hyderabad.

Bhagwat’s statement came in the wake of a war of words taking place between BJP and Congress over reservations.
