Ministers are provoking caste wars

I was surprised when I found that it was said by Rajiv Gandhi in 1990, when he was participating in the debate in Parliament on Mandal report. Now after 15 years, the ministers in the government of his own party are doing this - provoking caste wars. Arjun Singh and Meira Kumar are competing with each other in doing what ministers in V P Singh government did at that time. The chairperson of congress at that time opposed it. Now the chairperson of congress is supporting this. And incidentally, they are husband and wife. The politics of power brings out surprising attributes in peoples' thinking. If caste-based reservation was wrong at that time then how it can become right now in a span of just 15 years. Is this the real face of congress - divide the society on caste lines and rule?
