JAMMU: The Bahujan Samaj Party on Sunday asked the UPA government at the Centre to amend the Constitution to provide reservation to the poor among upper castes.
"I have written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the need to amend the Constitution to provide reservation to the poor among upper castes," BSP supremo Mayawati told a rally here.
"We are still waiting for a response from him," the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said.
Mayawati recalled she had also met the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee over the same issue.
She said her party was never against the upper castes and was concerned over the plight of the poor among them.
"We will continue to fight for their rights and will strive hard to improve their lot," Mayawati said.
