BJP State president Kanna Lakshminarayana has requested Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan to direct the government to implement 10% reservation for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) among the upper castes in recruitment and admissions to higher and professional educational institutions.
In a letter to the Governor on Thursday, Mr. Lakshminarayana said the youth belonging to the EWS were deprived of 10% reservation provided by the Central government due to its non-implementation by the State. This 10% quota was a historic decision taken by the Centre, he observed.
Appeals made to Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to implement the 10% quota for the EWS among the upper castes fell on deaf ears, Mr. Lakshminarayana alleged seeking the Governor's intervention.
