Bharat Bandh on May 25: Who’s demanding it and why

The All India Backward and Minority Communities Employees Federation has demanded Bharat Band on Wednesday i.e. May 25. As per the Saharanpur District President of the Bahujan Mukti Party (BMP) – Neeraj Dhiman, the Bharat band is being called as the Centre didn’t conduct a caste-based census of OBC.

The BMP President has also raised problems related to the use of EVMs in elections and the non-implementation of reservations for the SC/ST/OBC in private sectors.
