    Khattar can stroke only beef controversy but can not control law and order in his home state. If he is incapable of handling then he should pack up his bag and do his previous job as pracharak

    ..except BRAHMINS, put every one in OBC..if possible put under SC/ST, so that every one get fruits of quota/reservation..BRAHMINS are born with extra large brain and have gold mines gifted by Govts..its a shame, we are in 21st century..state should get investment, job opportunities should created..who invest if these things goes on..SC already rejected UPA application on JAT,GUJJARS quota..state cant go above 50% threshold..even educated students protest for reservation, its senseless..national media which acts like SC, reduced to watsupp business fueling these anarchy..there is no sensible debates going on whether caste/faith based quota system needed or based on financial condition of people..a OBC/UC/SC/ST/religious minorities can be rich, why they need quota!!

    Agree with you 100%. Forget about reservation , even their promotion is faster than general candidates making them work under bosses who are much junior to them. Reservation Mukth Bharath is the need of the hour, but we have politicians whose only aim is to be in power by hook or crook.

    We are in 21st century, really??? When people who killed/attacked writers for expressing their opinion but forgot they have freedom of expression, is it not in the 21st century? Imposed beef ban but forgot people have the right to eat what they like to, is it not in the 21st century? Opposed people like Aamir Khan for showing the mirror about the image of India, is it not in the 21st century? Opposed the religious conversion when people have their choice, is it not in the 21st century? Harassed young people going to beaches/parks holding hands together but forgot that they have the right to choose their partners as long as they are over 18, is it not in the 21st century? Attacked the pub when people do have their rights to drink legally, is it not in the 21st century? Attacks those celebrate valentine's when you do not have the right to do so, was is it not in the 21st century?

    Bhakths suddenly realised that it is 21st century??
