Maharashtra revokes decision on EWS quota in pvt medical colleges
In another rollback by the Maharashtra government, the medical education department on Wednesday withdrew its decision to implement the 10 per cent Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota in private medical colleges. The government stated that the reservation will only be applicable if the Central Government or respective Council increases the number of seats to compensate for the reservation impact on other category seats. The decision comes just a month after the state government revoked the three-language policy on June 29, following a major uproar. The order issued by the state's medical education department on Wednesday, with regards to EWS reservation clause in the information brochure of the state medical admission, stated, 'For MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BHMS and BUMS courses, this reservation will be applicable only if Central Government / respective council increased existing seats. For courses other than MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BHMS and BUMS courses, 10% EWS reservation will be applicable on available seats.' Principal secretary of medical education department, Dheeraj Kumar, said, 'After careful examination and various court orders, including those of Supreme Court and High Court, we have modified provisions as per last year.' This comes as a big relief to medical aspirants in the state and their parents who along with private medical colleges were up in arms against the implementation of 10 per cent EWS quota in private medical colleges, which came to light with release of the information brochure on July 23. According to them this was going to result in a drastic reduction in the number of seats which are under general merit, causing steep increase in cut-off marks for admission on those seats. It was highlighted by parents as well as colleges that it was unfair of state to implement 10 per cent EWS quota in private medical colleges without allowing proportionate boost in the total intake, a one time-measure followed by the central government when EWS reservation was applied in government medical colleges (GMCs). While the Association of Private Medical Colleges wrote to state against the reservation, several candidates and parents not only sent multiple letters requesting to withdraw the decision but also met with the state's medical education minister Hasan Mushrif on Tuesday, with their concerns. Welcoming the move, a parent representative, Sudha Shenoy said, 'The minister as well as principal secretary of the department not only gave us a patient hearing, the issue was resolved promptly within just a day after we presented our concerns.' Another parent representative, Brijesh Sutaria, said, 'It is now clear that the Government of Maharashtra will not implement EWS reservation in private medical colleges unless seat capacity is increased, a move that aligns with the Central Government's original 2019 approach. This step protects merit-based access while preserving the intent of social justice.'

UP BJP chief pick a tight-rope caste dynamic walk for saffron party
1 2 Lucknow: The BJP faced a significant setback in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in UP, losing ground to the SP-Congress of the INDIA bloc. This setback, coupled with the subsequent rise of SP's PDA politics and increased activism by Karni Sena following SP MP Ram Ji Lal Suman's remarks on Rajput King Rana Sanga, has rapidly altered the caste dynamics in Uttar Pradesh. Previously reliant on support from upper caste, OBC, and Dalit communities—excluding Jatavs—the BJP now recognises the impermanence of political alliances. Addressing this shift presents a challenge as the party prepares for the 2027 UP elections. In response, the BJP has adopted a more cautious approach, slowing down vital decision-making processes, including the selection of the new UP BJP chief, since the current chief, Bhupendra Chaudhary, has completed his term. Party members and analysts are awaiting the central BJP's forthcoming strategies. "Party insiders told TOI that the homework to appoint a new UP BJP chief has been done and the announcement could be made anytime now," a party source said. Speculation surrounds the potential candidates, with names from various caste categories—upper caste Brahmins, OBCs, and Dalits—floating in discussions. Speculation is rife that after the new UP BJP chief assumes office, the Yogi govt might also go for a rejig. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60m2 prefabricated bungalow for the elderly in Gandon Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Political pundits largely favour an OBC candidate for the role. A senior BJP functionary and minister in the Yogi govt told TOI that 90% possibility is of an OBC UP BJP chief while 10% chance is that of a Dalit one. He ruled out a Brahmin UP BJP chief. Others suggest that the BJP central leadership might choose a Brahmin chief to surprise the opposition, continuing the party's tradition of unexpected appointments. Each candidate category offers distinct advantages and challenges. Here's a lowdown on pros and cons of each one: If OBC candidate become UP BJP chief Pros: It could counter the Samajwadi Party's PDA (pichhda, Dalit and alpasankhyak) narrative, which contributed to the BJP winning only 33 seats in the LS polls compared to 64 in the previous election. An OBC chief might also balance the party's organisational structure and govt, while mitigating the opposition's caste-based criticisms. Cons: Lot will depend on the choice of the candidate even if he is an OBC. The incumbent Bhupendra Chaudhary, too, is OBC but the caste dynamic did not help BJP win more LS seats in UP. However, the success of an OBC chief would heavily depend on the candidate's ability to inspire confidence among party workers and voters. Additionally, there is a risk of further alienating upper caste Brahmins who may feel neglected. If Dalit becomes UP BJP chief Pros: Appointing a Dalit chief could help retain Dalit voters, especially Pasis, who shifted away during the LS polls and allow the BJP to come up as an option like SP and Congress are trying to woo mainly Jatavs, who continue to remain loyal to the BSP despite its repeated electoral debacles. It would also help the BJP shed the image of being an upper caste-dominated party. Cons: The sub-castes within the Dalit community might limit the candidate's appeal, and upper caste Brahmins may remain dissatisfied. If Brahmin becomes UP BJP chief Pros: Choosing a Brahmin chief would likely reassure upper caste Brahmin voters and maintain their support base as many of them are unhappy with the party's OBC outreach. Cons: However, it could alienate OBC and Dalit communities, reinforcing the perception of the BJP as catering primarily to upper castes and not addressing broader social groups. Though the scales appear to tilt in favour of OBC candidate, the new BJP since 2014 is known to spring up surprises.

Lad writes to Siddaramaiah, DKS; seeks fund for OBC industrialists
Bengaluru: Labour Minister Santosh Lad has written to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar seeking a 'fund-of-funds' to bolster young industrialists from OBC a letter dated July 26, Lad said, "As per the (Social and Educational) survey of 2015, 70% of the state's population comprises OBCs. Since there is no separate fund to bolster young industrialists from these communities, they are staying away from the industry sector. Thus, it is mandatory to institute a separate fund at the government level.".Lad's letter comes at a time when Congress is restructuring its political narrative. Top Congress leader Rahul Gandhi recently conceded that the Congress had "fallen short" of understanding OBC issues in the last 10-15 years. During the recently passed 'Bengaluru Declaration,' the Congress favoured hiking the 50% reservation shortage result of Karnataka's mismanagement: Labour minister suggested that both the government and the private sectors (principal investors, angel investors, venture capital and so on) could financially support the fund. He concluded by stating that this method would help OBC entrepreneurs contribute to the state's economy and aid in the growth of both government and private capital. Lad has also sent copies of the letter to Large and Medium Industries Minister M B Patil and Kannada and Culture Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi.
