Chief Minister Siddaramaiah pledges internal reservation for SCs in Karnataka

India Today  

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah reiterated his government’s commitment to providing internal reservation among the Scheduled Castes. The Karnataka government had, in November, appointed retired High Court judge Justice HN Nagamohan Das to lead a commission tasked with recommending the modalities for internal reservation among SCs. This move follows demands, particularly from the ‘SC Left’ groups, for internal reservation to address allegations that a few dominant sub-castes were monopolising reservation benefits while other marginalised communities were left out. Amid growing speculation about a potential change in the Congress leadership in the state, Siddaramaiah also clarified that decisions on the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee presidency or the chief minister’s role rest solely with the party high command.
