Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra urged the ruling Congress government to ensure fairness in implementing internal reservations among Scheduled Castes. He emphasized the importance of preventing any injustice towards communities in the state's reservation policy.
The Karnataka cabinet is considering the recommendations of the Justice H N Nagmohan Das Commission, which submitted a comprehensive report aimed at providing internal reservation among SCs. The report's discussion comes amid ongoing debates about fair distribution of the 17% reservation matrix among 101 scheduled castes.
Vijayendra insisted that the current government adhere to the BJP's previous internal reservation policy, which recommended specific sub-quotas for different SC communities. This debate follows the Supreme Court's affirmation that states can constitutionally create sub-classifications within SCs, underscoring a need for justice for all communities.
