State govt. playing politics over internal reservation, allege Madiga leaders
The HinduTaking exception to the State government’s decision to send a proposal on internal reservation to the Union government, the Madiga community leaders have accused the State government of playing politics. Addressing a press conference in Yadgir on Friday, leader of the Madiga community Hanumanth Itagi said that although the proposal was pending before the seven-judge Bench of the Supreme Court, the State government had chosen to forward the proposal to the Centre with the intention of getting political mileage keeping the Lok Sabha elections in mind. ”The State government is saying that it is sending a proposal to the Centre because it is necessary to make amendments to Article 341,” he said. Mr. Itagi said that when the Union government itself was fighting the case in the Supreme Court, the State government’s move was aimed at playing politics.
