The State government will take a decision on providing reservation to the Panchamasali community under 2A of OBC quota based on the report of the Karnataka Backward Classes Commission, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai informed the Legislative Assembly on September 24.
In a reply to senior member Basanagouda Patil Yatnal (BJP), who has been demanding inclusion of the community in the 15% reservation bracket (2A of OBC quota), Mr. Bommai said the Backward Classes Commission has been collecting data on educational and employment status of the community. The Commission has also been studying the demand of 15 other backward communities in Karnataka, he said. It was very essential to study and collect data for taking a decision on reservation, the Chief Minister added.
