The State government cannot decide on the demand for inclusion of different castes into the Backward Classes category till the State Commission submits its report, said Karnataka State Permanent Backward Classes Commission chairperson K. Jayaprakash Hegde here on Monday.
Speaking at the Antyodaya awareness programme for elected representatives of panchayats and urban local bodies, Mr. Hegde said that the Commission has started the process of collecting empirical data about the social and education status of different castes. “Empirical data is very essential. It was the absence of this data that led the Supreme Court to strike down recently a decision of the Maharashtra Government,” he said.
