Watch: Ramdas Athawale tries his hand at stand-up comedy in Parliament; recites his poem on the quota Bill

As the Bhartiya Janata Party government has approved 10 per cent reservation for economically weaker Upper caste people in Government Jobs and Education sector, several heated arguments and counter-arguments came across. The quota bill was passed in Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Ramdas Athawale found a creative way to show his support for both the bill and the BJP government.

The Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment tried his hand at stand-up comedy in the Parliament and recited his poem on the quota Bill in the Lok Sabha, which included digs at Rahul Gandhi and the Congress. The poem also had a declaration that the Narendra Modi administration would return to power in 2019.
