Amendments to SC/ST Act hurt upper-caste votes: UP BJP MLA
BJP MLA from Uttar Pradesh Surendra Singh has said that BJP's decision to bring amendments to the SC/ST Act has proved suicidal for the party. "BJP cannot register victory by hurting sentiments of upper castes," Singh added. The Parliament had in August passed the SC/ST Amendment Bill, 2018, ruling out anticipatory bail to those accused of atrocities against the community.n
