Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: A deepening reservation row in the state has left job aspirants blaming the BJP and Congress parties for a 27% quota setback. The High Court's rejection of the government's notification has left candidates in a state of despair. Gwalior resident Ravi Kaurav expressed his anguish, stating that the future of backward class students now looks bleak.
He warned that the matter would reach the apex court, with a verdict expected in three to four years, leaving thousands of youths unable to appear in upcoming recruitment exams. Category 3 teacher candidate Rajendra Dhanagar argued that backward class forms a significant portion of the state's population and thus should be given 27% reservation based on population.
However, he emphasized that reservation should be granted only to the poorest among the backward class. Lokendra Gurjar of OBC Mahasabha accused the government of lacking the nerve to effectively represent the backward class before the court. He hinted at drawing up a strategy for further action to address the issue.
