Capt Amrinder Singh, the former CM of Punjab has demanded reservation for the JATS in govt jobs. The Congress has already advocated reservation for JATS in Rajasthan and some other states. A pandora box is about to open before the coming parliament elections.Sadly. Such demands and promises make the mockery of democracy. Whither should other categories go who have merit but no means and ofcourse, no political support? Already, many a lives have been lost against Mandal Commission report and during other agitations.
Pro Bipin Chandra, well-known historian had argued in Indian Express in early nineties that reservation fit in a place in a periphery economy. But when the economy is liberalised, the no of jobs decline and can be found only in private sector. Who will give get reservation in IT, management or hospitality sector? Such demands are delusions. They create more divisions and do not help the common people.
Interestingly, Punjab has had only Jat CM since 1978? Even before, Only Giani Zail Singh belonged to OBC. Since Kairo, only JAT CM ruled the Punjab, They headed Akali Dal and Congress. What they did for JATS that they still need reservation?
The govt, instead, make a list of categories who do not need reservation. Of course, 'Maharaja Amrinder Singh' and the likes of him do not deserve reservation!
