Prasad pointed out that Congress governments in Rajasthan and Haryana flouted all norms and bended backwards to accommodate and promote the business interests of Vadra. He also charged the Congress of victimising honest officials like Ashok Khemka.
Responding to a question on media reports that the Congress had come out with a sub-manifesto promising 4.5 percent quota to backward Muslims, Prasad said the move was politically unethical and unconstitutional.
"Interests of the Other Backward Classes would be compromised if such a move takes off," he said.
Prasad questioned the silence of leaders like Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal president Lalu Prasad, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati, and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, on the contentious issue.
