Yogendra Yadav: AAP will fight for additional quota for lower castes

January 08, 2014 18:30

Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Yogendra Yadav has said that the party has 'more clarity' now specially on issues relating to caste and reservation.

"The party will fight for additional quota for the lower castes, women and the economically backward," Yadav said.

The AAP was heavily criticised for being silent on issues relating to caste and reservation and focusing more on populism.

Saying that the AAP is in favour of a quota for the SC/STs and OBCs, Yadav said that the party will work more for these issues. "We came from different backgrounds. We didn't have clarity about it until recently," he said.
