Internal quota issue hangs fire with discussion incomplete in Cabinet
The Karnataka Cabinet failed to reach a decision on the contentious issue of internal reservation, despite prolonged deliberations. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah suggested a special meeting to address the matter, while opposition from Dalit communities over internal reservation within the existing 15% quota for Scheduled Castes remained unresolved. The decision to proceed with recruitment for 56,432 posts with a 50% cap on reservation and without internal reservation remains in place pending further Cabinet discussion.
