Bengaluru: Seeking inner reservation quota among SC communities, Madiga Associations will stage a demonstration in front of Deputy Commissioner (DC) offices in all districts of the State on Aug. 1.
Announcing this at a press meet here yesterday, former Union Minister and BJP leader A.Narayanaswamy said that it has been a year since a Supreme Court bench headed by the then Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud on Aug.1, 2024 held that States are Constitutionally empowered to make sub-classifications within the Scheduled Castes for granting reservation for the uplift of castes that are socially and educationally more backward. But the Karnataka Government is intentionally delaying announcement of inner reservation quota, bowing to the pressures of established interests, he alleged. As such, the Madiga organisations have decided to stage stir in front of DC offices on Aug.1, he pointed out.
