The much debated and opposed quota bill on promotions in government services was passed unanimous with 206 voting for and only 10 against it, in the Upper House on December 18. The bill will be taken up for debate and voting in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday and the BSP chief Mayawati who has been a big proponent, has appealed to all parties to get the bill passed in the lower house too.
Saying that bill was achieved after a hard fight, BSP chief Mayawati sought to take credit for passage of bill providing SC/ST quota in promotions in government jobs in the Rajya Sabha. Moreover, Samajwadi Party even asked for reservation for minorities in jobs and promotions. However, the Bill, which was being opposed by the Samajwadi Party, and over which the House was adjourned frequently, could be moved for discussion only after Mayawati strongly put across her demands before the Chairman last week.
Further, Mayawati also attacked the Samajwadi Party for suggesting that quota was benefitting only a few SC/ST castes saying there were a large number of backward castes in UP but only the Yadavs were benefitting.
