RSS always against caste reservations, says Jignesh Mevani

The Narendra Modi government on Tuesday tabled in Lok Sabha a bill seeking 10 per cent reservation for economically backward upper castes that are currently not covered under reservation in government jobs.

Although the bill to amend Article 15 and 16 of the Constitution has been moved by the government, any constitutional amendment will require the approval of two-third of Parliament. Even though the House can pass any law, it cannot alter the basic structure of the Constitution.
