Recently,
Modi Cabinet has declared 10 percent reservation for economically backward group belonging to general categories and govt. is going to bring a Constitutional amendment to introduce it.
It is considered to be the move is to consolidate the upper castes.
The Union cabinet has approved reservation of 10 percent in jobs and education for backward sections in the general category.
A constitutional amendment bill will be considered in Parliament on the last day of the Winter Session.
This will be added above the existing 50 percent reservation received by the Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, and the Other Backward Classes, resulting the total reservation to 60 percent.
The bill will defend upper castes under the fundamental rights and will also benefit them.
The court's rule of the maximum 50 percent quota cannot fetter Parliament's right in amending the Constitution as informed by the news agency.
Among the major castes those will be benefitted from the proposed law are:
• Brahmins,
• Rajputs, Jats,
• Marathas,
• Bhumihars,
• several trading castes, and many more upper classes.
The move is being seen as a step to gain and consolidate upper caste voters mind just ahead of the general elections.
Most Opposition parties termed it an election gimmick but did not oppose it on political ground.
