Bengaluru: With the Assembly elections round the corner, the State BJP Government, in a bid to reap rich harvest in the polls, is said to be considering reservation hike for Vokkaligas and bring Panchamasali Lingayat community under 2a category, which the community has been demanding for long.
The Government is said to be planning to make an announcement in this regard soon after Sankranti, which falls next month. Meanwhile, the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes, headed by Jayaprakash Hegde, is likely to submit its report on reservation quota in the first week of January.
