TIRUPPUR: Asserting that the NDA Government was committed to equality of opportunity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said social justice was not an mathematical equation, but was an ‘article of faith’ for the BJP-led NDA regime.
Addressing a public meeting in this western belt of Tamil Nadu, he said equality of opportunity was the commitment of the NDA Government.
“That is why the Government brought a Bill to ensure 10 per cent reservation for the poor of the general category this year”, he added.
“We have brought the 10 per cent reservation that will not affect the already existing quota available for dalits, SCs and tribals”, he added.
“For us social justice is not a mathematical equation…plus here minus there (as seen by the Opposition parties). It is an article of faith for us”, he said, ridiculing criticisms from the Opposition parties like the Congress and the DMK, which have joined together for the Lok Sabha poll to oust the BJP-led NDA Government.
