Is Reservation For Backward Classes In NEET A Master Stroke By BJP?
PM Modi's move of reservation for OBC and economically weak students in medical examination is being termed as a masterstroke. After the order of the Supreme Court, since 2007, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes started getting the benefits of reservation in All India Quota, other backward class candidates were not getting this benefit. Just before the Uttar Pradesh elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi played a masterstroke in the form of reservation for OBCs in the All India quota of medical studies. The expansion in the Modi cabinet, as well as posters all over Uttar Pradesh, that Modi had given a place to 27 percent backward in his cabinet, were the hallmark of the BJP's backward card. Recently, when the office bearers of the Uttar Pradesh BJP Backward Classes Cell were announced, almost all the leaders of the state BJP including organization general secretary Sunil Bansal tweeted it.
