Nadda meets group seeking income-based quotas days after protest in Delhi

Union minister JP Nadda met representatives of Reservation Hatao Andolan on Thursday at Jantar Mantar, following a protest against caste-based reservation on August 21. The trio Nadda met were Harsh Dubey, Mrityunjay Pathak, and Ran Bahadur Singh Chauhan. Nadda announced plans for more meetings soon. Reservation Hatao Andolan is advocating for quotas in academics and employment to be based on income levels, rather than social or caste identities.

They are also pushing for a "one family, one reservation" policy and an immediate end to the UGC's 2026 caste-equity directives.
