Internal reservation likely to become a vexed issue in recruitment of 56,432 posts
The Karnataka government has decided to revert to 15% reservation for Scheduled Castes, a move that is causing tension within the Dalit community. Ministers K.H. Muniyappa and R.B. Thimmapur have committed to providing internal reservation within the 15% quota, but face opposition from Dalit rights communities who argue it's legally impossible. The Governor has approved a bill that provides for sub-classification of Dalit groups within the 17% reservation for Scheduled Castes, further complicating the situation. The government is now facing pressure to address these concerns before publishing job notifications.
