Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Janata Dal formed the government in the 1989 elections under VP Singh as the Prime Minister. The VP Singh government decided to implement the Mandal Commission report, which suggested that 27% of the government jobs should be reserved for the socially and educationally backward classes. Numerous rallies and counter-protests followed, some of which turned violent. Due to the decision's impact on thousands of job chances, people responded angrily. Some believed those job reservations were necessary since there were disparities between members of different castes in India. Others said this was unjust since it would prevent those who did not come from underprivileged communities from having the same opportunities. Some believed that this would reinforce caste prejudice and undermine national unity.
