Upper castes in Gujarat to get 10 per cent quota

Upper castes in Gujarat to get 10 per cent quota


Rs. 6 lakh annual income limit set for availing benefits




In a bid to placate the Patidars demanding reservation in jobs and education, the BJP government in Gujarat on Friday announced a 10 % quota for those earning Rs. 6 lakh a year or less among the upper castes. A special ordinance will be promulgated to this effect on May 1.

“Gujarat government has decided to accord 10% reservation for economically backward in general category,” Chief Minister Anandiben Patel tweeted, adding that the “existing 49% reservation for SC, ST and OBC will remain untouched. Gujarat government is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all.”

“The ordinance will be promulgated immediately in time for admissions to the coming academic year,” State BJP president Vijay Rupani said.

But the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti dismissed the announcement as “lollipop” and demanded specific quota for the Patidars.
