Committed to implementing internal reservation for SCs, after survey: CM Siddaramaiah

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday reaffirmed his government's committment to providing internal reservation among Scheduled Castes, and emphasised that there should be no doubts about it. He said Justice H N Nagmohan Das Commission has been given two months to conduct the survey, following which internal reservation will be implemented by ensuring no injustice is done to anyone. A section of SCs, like 'SC Left', has been demanding internal reservation, alleging that only a few influential sub-castes were taking away a majority of the benefits, while many communities were still marginalised. The government, in November last year, had appointed Nagmohan Das to head a commission to recommend internal reservation among SCs, after the Supreme Court last year allowed the states to provide internal reservation, and the state cabinet agreed to implement internal reservation.
