<br />
===Stand on reservation===<br />
On 4 February 2014, he urged congress vice-president [[Rahul Gandhi]] to reconsider the party's stand on caste based reservations in India. He said that caste based reservation should end and urged all the financially backward class to get the benefit irrespective of caste.<ref>[https://archive.today/20140207185230/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2014-02-04/india/47003385_1_caste-lines-party-manifesto-congress-leader Senior Congress leader Janardan Dwivedi wants end to reservation on caste lines – The Times of India].

However, congress party separated from Dwivedi's view saying that it was his personal view and not the party's.<br />
Congress president [[Sonia Gandhi]] later clarified the party's stand and said that Caste based reservations should continue for SCs, STs and OBCs.<ref>[https://archive.today/20140207185223/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2014-02-05/india/47047823_1_janardan-dwivedi-obcs-aicc Caste-based reservations must continue, Sonia Gandhi says – The Times of India].
