BJP seeks hike in quota for SCs






BJP’s national SC Morcha president, Dushyant Kumar Gautham, has demanded that the Centre increase reservations for SCs from 15 to 17 per cent in accordance with the proportion of their population as per the last census.


Addressing the gathering on the second day of a 48-hour ‘Maha Deeksha’ organised by the State Dalit Morcha here on Sunday, he referred to the recent killing of Dalits in Srikakulam district and alleged that atrocities against SCs and STs were increasing all over the country under Congress rule.


The Deeksha has been organised seeking the appointment of a Chairman and other members of the SC/ ST Commission, introduction of reservations in private sector employment and arrangement of bank loans without security to educated SC/ST youth to set up enterprises, among others.
