Elections are over,results will be declared on 4th June.
This election was fought on only one issue, that was 'CASTE' ,to be specific OBC/SC/ST.
Only the GCs are at a loss
The BJP government has been the champions of reservation let us examine how๐Ÿงต
77th constitution amendment enabled reservations in promotion but that was WITHOUT CONSEQUENTIAL SENIORITY means GC candidates had the chance to retain their seniority
BJP brought 85th amendment which changed art 16(4A), gave consequential seniority to promotees via reservation
In the year 2000, BJP brought 81st constitution amendment which introduced article 16(4b), nullified the decision of "R K Sabharwal & oth V State of Punjab & oth,1995"(1995, Scc 2, 745) in which it was held that carry forward vacancies cannot be filled exceeding 50% of the posts
Similarly the BJP Govt brought 82nd Constitution amendment in the Year 2000 due to which a proviso was added in article 335 of the constitution which nullified the effect of Indira Sawhney Judgement,1992(screenshot 2) which emphasised the importance of maintaining efficiency
let us come to the 104th constitution amendment(2019)
Originally In the art 334 of the constitution,seats reserved for SC/ST were for a period till 70 years(see SS1),after the amendment, in the heading 70 years has been replaced by 'Certain period' and by 80 years in the content
Hon'ble SC upheld Hon'ble Alld HC's order that in an institution only the department has to be taken as a unit for reservation not the institution as a whole. Reservation is only applicable when seats are =>6. So Modi nullified this order of SC by introducing the below act โฌ‡๏ธ
Constitution amendments from 102 to 106 are either about castes or about reservation.
It shows the casteist and appeasing nature of the BJP govt. All this development/progress,nationalism are sham. They are exactly like the regional casteist parties with the power of numbers.
BJP supporting GCs may argue that no party will oppose reservation as it may cause it's political death.
But they could've maintained status quo but they went miles ahead in strengthening the reservation system and it is they who have made it 360ยฐ and strangulated the GCs.
How quickly we GCs forget
