Praful Bidwai is trying to give credit to VP Singh to bring Mandal "inspite of being from higher class". This comment should not be there in the article in the first place. People like Mr Bidwai are the ones who, inspite of being educated, still cling to caste based politics and keep reminding others that caste is still relevant.
VP Singh had no good intentions in mind when he decided to implement Mandal. The only intention he had in mind was saving his own government.
