Answer:
Question 1 Is every office memorandum a major political decision? If not, what made this one different?
Answer Every office memorandum is not a major political decision. Most of them are routine in nature. This office memorandum relating to reservation for the Socially and Economically Backward Classes (SEBC) in government services was different because it affected all the sections of society, the SEBC’s in a positive way and the other classes in a negative way. This reservation issue was a major source of controversy for several years and led to many agitations and court cases.
Question 2 (i) Which points, other than the ones mentioned above, do you recall about these institutions from the previous class? Discuss in class.
(ii) Can you think of a major decision made by your State Government? How were the Governor, the Council of Ministers the State Assembly and the courts involved in that decision?
Answer
(ii) An example of a major decision is given here. There have been many others. A major decision taken by the Uttar Pradesh State Government in 2008 was not to allow the Reliance Group to open their retail shops selling vegetables and fruits in the states, as it would harm the interests of the small traders selling these items. This order was approved by the Council of Ministers and the order was promulgated by the Governor. Since it did not involve finances, it was not raised in the State Assembly. The courts were in no way involved, as it did not have any Constitutional implications.
