After this, he went to Washington DC, where he interacted with the students of Georgetown University. During that tour, a statement by Rahul Gandhi caused a lot of stir in Indian politics. Rahul Gandhi had emphasized the need to end the reservation system in India, which led to many political controversies. Apart from this, he also underlined the importance of caste-based census and said that 90 percent of the country’s population, which includes OBCs, Dalits and tribal classes, have not got proper representation.
