Jan Kranti Adhikar Morcha (JKAM) chief Pappu Yadav on Sunday alleged that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav are doing politics of sentiment on reservation issue of the backward classes.

"Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar are doing all these for politics. They just want to do politics of sentiment. They have made the youth unemployed and they are the culprits of the youths," Yadav told the media here.

"I believe that reservation is ruining the country. Dalits are suppressed and reservation is a method to improve that. However, it should be noted to what extent reservation should be given," he added.

Lalu had earlier said that his fight against poverty will go on and he will continue to provide help for the reservation of the backward classes.
