The fake viral post circulating in her name read: “Don’t touch reservation. Let general category doctors treat only general category patients and let everyone else treat only patients from their own caste. Do this for a few years, and people will start asking to end caste-based reservation themselves. You can’t get skill through reservation.” The fake post began circulating on social media soon after calls to scrap or review the reservation system gained traction online, with several general category aspirants discussing the issue.
