Will ensure 70% reservation for SC/ST: K'taka CM
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah said that the state government will seek a Constitution amendment to ensure 70% reservation for Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe communities in education and public-sector services. Reservation would be sought on the lines of Tamil Nadu model, which has 69% quota, Siddaramaiah said. However, as per the Supreme Court's ruling, the reservation should not exceed 50%.
