Social Welfare Minister H Anjaneya and Law Minister T B Jayachandra on Tuesday met Governor Vajubhai Vala and urged him to promulgate an ordinance on providing reservation to contractors who fall under the SC/ST category.
Points clarified
Speaking to reporters after meeting the Governor, Anjaneya said he had explained the Governor the need to provide reservation to the SC/ST communities in government contracts. All the points raised by the Governor have been clarified, he said.
“The Governor replied saying that the government’s move should be debated in both Houses of the Legislature before its implementation. But we hope the Governor is convinced with our explanation and will soon promulgate the ordinance,” the minister said.
