Overview
- Rahul Gandhi, who posted the video Monday, said Dalits and Adivasis have "absolutely no" presence in top posts across major institutions.
- He pointed to a delegation from a Gramin Bank’s SC-ST Welfare Association that described discrimination in promotions despite roster rules meant to reserve positions.
- Gandhi said managers often cite "performance" or "lack of merit" to block career growth for workers from marginalised communities.
- He added that those who protest face frequent transfers to remote postings, which uproots families and weakens their chances to advance.
- Congress framed this as a fight for equal representation nationwide, while reports offered no formal reply from banks or regulators and noted no independent verification of the claims.
