VT Balram, elected as MLA from Thrithala constituency in Palakkad district who has a history of disagreeing with the state leadership of the Congress on a range of issues, took to Facebook to air his grievance on the matter. The 40-year-old MLA, in an indirect swipe at his own party, said when it came to reservation, the real fight against Brahminism, everyone would unite to derail constitutional goals.
