Extra 10% Reservation Quota for the Upper Castes

Prior to the Lok Sabha elections, the Narendra Modi government took a big decision. In the Union Cabinet meeting on Monday, it has been decided that 10 percent reservation will now be given to the Upper Castes. These reservations will be only given to those economically weaker sections in the Upper Castes. Let me tell you that the way the Modi government reversed the decision of the SC / ST Act in 2018, it was being told that the senior citizens were angry.

It is believed that on Tuesday, Modi Government can present the Constitution Amendment Bill in Parliament. Let it be said that on Tuesday the Parliament is the last day of the winter session.

Who will get the benefit?

The person who has more property than the fixed limit will not get the benefit of this amendment. Assuming the sources, the reservation can get eight Lakh Rupees annual income and lesser than 5 acres of land. Apart from this, those who have their own house on government land (DDA, the land of the Corporation) will not be able to get the benefit.

All these benefits will get

> Whose annual income is less than 8 lakhs

> Those who have land less than 5 hectares of land

> Who has less than 1000 square feet house

> Those with less than not less than 109 yards of land in the notified land

> Who has less than 209 yards of non-notified land of the corporation

> Who had not yet come under any kind of reservation

Constitution must change

Let me tell you that the Modi government is bringing this reservation on an economic basis, which has no system in the Constitution. In the Constitution, there has been some talk regarding reservations on the basis of caste, in which the government has to amend the constitution to implement it. This decision of the government is being linked to the Lok Sabha elections.

The government will soon change the constitution for this. For this, changes in Article 15 and Article 16 of the Constitution will be made. Changing both the paragraphs will give way to clear reservations on an economic basis.

Congress on the 10% quota for Upper Castes

Ami Yagnik of Congress says that there are considerable technical difficulties on this type of reservation, what is the purpose of reservation in this way before the Lok Sabha elections, it will also have to be seen. He said that it may take a lot of time for the bill to come and pass on this issue. The government is not serious about this issue.

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on the 10% quota for Upper Castes

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale has welcomed this decision. They say that this decision of the government is very good, this will benefit a large section of society. He said that there are many people in the upper castes who are economically weak.
