Speaking on the issue of reservation policy she urged people to vote in favor of grand secular alliance to save themselves from “nefarious design of the BJP and RSS” she asked people to vote in favor of a clean imaged chief minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar, she said “BJP is trying to roll back the policy of reservation but Congress party is committed on the issue and will never let that happen”.
