Pinarayi says it will not infringe on Dalit, backward class reservation
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said the 10% reservation for the indigent among forward caste communities will not upset the quota of any other Dalit or socially or educationally backward community currently eligible for affirmative action.
Inaugurating the socio-economic survey to identify the poor among forward community members here on Saturday, Mr. Vijayan said some forces had attempted to create social discord by propagandising that the forward caste reservation would eat into the quota of other eligible groups.
