The state government will soon take a call on reconstituting a Cabinet sub-committee to look into the recommendations of Justice A J Sadashiva Commission report, Social Welfare Minister B Sriramulu said on Wednesday.
The Commission, which submitted its report to the government in 2012, has recommended internal reservation among the Scheduled Castes.
The minister was responding to a question raised in this regard by MLC R Dharmasena in the Karnataka Legislative Council. "In 2018, a Cabinet sub-committee was constituted to look into the Commission's recommendations. However, no decision was arrived upon. We will consider reconstituting the sub-committee at the earliest," the minister assured. He, however, did not specify by when it would be decided.
The MLC sought to know why the state government was delaying the implementation of the Sadashiva Commission's recommendations. "There are several sub-sects within the backward classes which do not have any political representation, Even voters do not encourage these candidates," R Dharmasena lamented.
