Mayawati urges quota for poor among FCs
New Delhi Bureau
NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati told journalists here that the government should redefine the concept of creamy layer in view of the runaway prices so that the Other Backward Classes, who were socially and economically backward, were not denied the benefits of reservation.
She urged the government to bring in a constitutional amendment to extend reservation in Central educational institutions to the economically backward sections among the forward communities (FC) and the minorities. The BSP would support the government in Parliament, she promised.
PTI reports:
Terming the apex court judgment as “historic and important,” Ms. Mayawati demanded that the Centre ensure implementation of the quotas in higher education institutes.
States where such institutes cannot implement quotas should be provided help to do the same, she said.
“We will ensure full implementation of OBC reservation in U.P.”
