New Delhi, Feb 16 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Party President Mayawati on Sunday demanded that the reservation provisions for Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribe and other backward castes should be included in the 9th schedule of the Constitution and also said that this will ensure their right of reservation.
BSP Chief, in a series of tweets, further said that after the Congress party and now the BJP Government at Centre’s relentless ignorance of these castes, the Constitutional provisions which were aimed at bringing them into the main stream, have now been failed. This is very serious and unfortunate, she added.
"In such a situation, the reservation arrangements made for SCs, STs and OBCs must be brought under the 9th Schedule of the Constitution so that their rights are safeguarded till they come up to the main stream of the society”, Ms Mayawati said.
The BSP supremo also alleged that due to callous attitudes of the Centre towards these caste, the Court has nullified the provisions of reservations in Government jobs and promotions. The recent Court decision has agitated the backward community.
