“The character of the BJP could be very problematic. In 2014, PM Modi roamed the nation saying he was from the extraordinarily backward class (EBC). Is there EBC in Gujarat? There is not any EBC in Gujarat, solely OBC. He did not even belong to the OBC. When he turned Gujarat chief minister, he added his caste to the OBC. He is a replica, not an unique,” the JD(U) chief had stated.
