Amid pandemonium in the Legislative Assembly on Friday, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said he would convene an all-party meeting in a week to take a decision on increasing reservation, as demanded by some communities in the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and OBC categories.
Mr. Bommai said committees headed by the former Upalokayukta Subhash B. Adi and the former judge Nagamohan Das had submitted recommendations to the government and that the government was committed to providing justice to various communities seeking an increase in the quota. “The government has to take a decision very carefully by considering all aspects since the courts have been reviewing issues related to reservation,” Mr. Bommai said.
