In a response to the ruling BJP's decision to take the minority reservation issue from the OBC quota to the public, the Gujarat Congress held a grand OBC justice summit in Vadodara on Sunday.

State Congress president Arjun Modhwadia said that while the BJP equipped the youth with Trishuls, the Congress gave them technology to help them get employment.

The Congress also criticised Modi's Sadbhavana fast stating that even as the BJP tried to woo Muslims, several innocents were still in jail in connection with the 2002 riots. Modhwadia compared Modi's fast in various districts akin to a drama troupe that moved from one place to another.

The BJP had decided to take up the 4.5% reservation to minorities from the 27% OBC quota before the public during the election campaign for assembly polls scheduled this year. The move of Congress to hold OBC justice summit in Vadodara is in response to BJP's strategy. Congress leaders informed people about the work undertaken by the party for uplift of OBCs.

Speaking on the occasion, Shankersinh Vaghela talked of the benefits extended by the Congress government so as to benefit the OBC section of the society. He said while the BJP worked for the benefit of millionaires, the Congress was with the underprivileged sections of the society.
