Bihar Releases Official Notification For Increasing Quota From 50 To 65%

The Nitish Kumar government on Tuesday issued gazette notifications for raising the quota for deprived castes from 50 to 65 per cent in state government jobs and educational institutions, after receiving assent from Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar.

According to sources the Governor had sent both the bills - The Bihar Reservation of Vacancies in Posts and Services Amendment Bill and the Bihar Reservation (Admission In Educational Institutions) Amendment Bill, 2023 - to the state government after giving his formal assent, paving the way for implementation of the new quota percentage in state government jobs and educational institutions.

The Bihar Reservation of Vacancies in Posts and Services Amendment Bill and the Bihar Reservation (Admission In Educational Institutions) Amendment Bill, 2023 were recently cleared by the state legislature during the winter session days after the government tabled the detailed analysis of the state's landmark caste survey report in the assembly.

Both the bills sought a hike in the quota for Scheduled Castes (SC) from 16 to 20 per cent, Scheduled Tribes (STs) from 1 to 2 per cent, extremely backward castes (EBCs) from 18 to 25 per cent and other backward classes (OBCs) from 15 to 18 per cent to elevate the total quantum of caste-based reservations from 50 to 65 per cent.

The total quantum of reservation in jobs and educational institutions will now stand at 75 per cent in the state, after taking into account the 10 per cent already existing quota for economically weaker sections (EWS).

Mr Arlekar's assent came just days after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expressed hope that the Raj Bhavan would return both bills after the formal assent of the Governor.

"BRS Will Win All Medals If...": Devendra Fadnavis Attacks KCR At Poll Rally

BJP leader and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday attacked the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led BRS government over "family rule" and alleged corruption, saying the BRS would win all the medals if an Olympics of corruption is held.

"The BRS has looted Telangana, and only family rule is going on here," Mr Fadnavis alleged at an election campaign meeting of BJP at Musheerabad Assembly constituency here.

"The extent of corruption under the ruling BRS is so much that it will win all the medals if an Olympics of corruption is held anywhere," the Bharatiya Janata Party leader said, mocking at the ruling party.

"Over the past nine years, you have seen BRS government here. First it was TRS and now became BRS. I feel that instead of naming it BRS, they should have named it 'FRS'-- Family Raj Samithi. It would have been more appropriate," he told the gathering.

Attacking KCR over not fulfilling his promise of appointing a Dalit as chief minister of Telangana, he also accused the BRS regime of indulging in corruption in welfare schemes meant for Dalits in the state.

Mr Fadnavis also sought to know whether the chief minister had fulfilled any of the assurances he gave to the people of Telangana, including building 2 BHK houses for them.

Recalling that KCR had met him seeking the release of river water to Telangana when he was chief minister of Maharashtra, Mr Fadnavis said, "We decided and released water to our neighbour Telangana. But I did not know at the time that the water would be utilised for the purpose of corruption, rather than farming". 

He was referring to the alleged corruption in irrigation projects in Telangana.

Accusing the BRS of indulging in corruption in every sphere, Mr Fadnavis also accused KCR of spending huge amounts of money on advertisements promoting himself.

On KCR's recent tours to neighbouring Maharashtra in a bid to expand the BRS's reach there, Fadnavis said "KCR saab, stop dreaming of coming to Maharashtra, as BJP is going to pack you off in Telangana itself".

The Congress, BRS and other "family parties" are jittery over he popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Fadnavis said, as they feel they would lose people's support. Whatever assurances PM Modi made, he fulfilled all of them and worked for the welfare of the poor and 140 crore people of the country, he claimed.

He claimed that the BRS, Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM were working together and said that their purpose is to "capture" PM Modi's seat. "They have conspired and have a tacit understanding," Fadnavis alleged.

Mr Fadnavis also claimed that KCR has financed (funded) some Congress candidates contesting the assembly elections in Telangana and alleged that such "buying and selling" is already going on.

"None of them are going to get a chance as the people of Telangana have already decided to be with Modi government," he said.

Mr Fadnavis urged the people to extend their support to make the BJP victorious in the elections in order to ensure all-round development in the state.
