Quota within quota, more EWS benefits: YouTuber Ajeet Bharti's key demands at 'Reservation Hatao' protest
The protest was organised by ‘Reservation Hatao Andolan’, a social media movement opposing quotas.
YouTuber Ajeet Bharti delivered a speech at a protest against caste-based reservations at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, outlining four key demands. The first was for the government to release a white paper detailing the reservation system and its impact over the past 80 years. Bharti, born in Bihar, highlighted the plight of the Musahar community, which often does not benefit from reservations due to a lack of political representation.
His second demand was for a quota within the existing quota system, questioning the government's decision to exclude the creamy layer. The third was for the maintenance of minimum marks for admissions to higher education institutions, arguing that compromising on merit would reduce the efficiency of the country. Finally, Bharti proposed that the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) should be included under the Scheduled Castes (SC) category, as they currently do not receive any additional benefits.
