Overview
- Verma, newly elected AJAKS state president in Madhya Pradesh, said reservations should continue "until a Brahmin donates his daughter to my son or has a relationship with him" during a Sunday event in Bhopal.
- The video of his comment spread widely on Monday, prompting the All India Brahmin Samaj to demand an immediate police case and warn of statewide protests if none is filed.
- Employee union leader Sudhir Nayak called the statement highly objectionable and urged action under Civil Service and All India Services conduct rules.
- Verma told ANI that his words were taken out of context during a discussion on economic versus social criteria for reservation, expressed regret, and said he intended no insult to any community or to women.
- Reports note no FIR or formal departmental action had been announced by Tuesday, and coverage also recalls Verma’s 2021–22 forgery allegations, arrest, court relief, and recent reinstatement.
