BJP MP Nishikant Dubey is defending the government on UGC guidelines.
Jagran correspondent, Godda. Political and social debate has intensified across the country regarding the new guidelines of the University Grants Commission (UGC). This issue has gained prominence especially on internet media.
Resentment is being seen among a section of the BJP's traditional golden section, while opposition parties and anti-BJP groups have started trying to make it a big political issue. A campaign is being run against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central Government on social media platforms. Meanwhile, Godda's BJP MP Nishikant Dubey openly defended the UGC guidelines by making two consecutive posts on the social media platform 'X' on 23 and 24 January. He called it a step taken towards social justice.
However, after these statements he is facing sharp criticism and opposition on the internet media. A section has started an online campaign against him and things like “teaching a lesson” are also being said in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Despite the growing controversy, Nishikant Dubey is firm on his stand.

Citing Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution, he said that there is no provision for discrimination between Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes and General Classes. He also gave credit to Prime Minister Modi for 10 percent reservation for the Economically Weaker General Category (EWS).

At present, no clear indication has been received at the official level, but it is certain that this issue will remain at the center of education policy and social justice politics in the times to come.
If Modi is there then it is possible, have faith that all the misconceptions regarding UGC notification will be removed. According to Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution, there is no difference between Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Backward Class and General Class. 10 percent reservation for general category only and only Honorable Prime Minister Modi…
