SHRIMATI GUNDU SUDHARANI (Telangana): Sir, there are two issues. ...(Interruptions)... The first one is about inclusion of castes in the OBC List and the second one is about categorization of existing castes in the OBC List into A, B, C, D, E and F at the Central level as has been done in Andhra Pradesh and other States. ...(Interruptions)... It is useful for many backward communities to get a fair share of reservation as per their population. ...(Interruptions)...
So, I would like to know from the hon. Minister what are the reasons for delay in categorizing the OBC List at the Central level into different groups and by when the Government is going to do this. ...(Interruptions)...
Sir, my second supplementary is this. ...(Interruptions)... There are six reservation categories, that is, SC/ST/OBC/Disabled/NCC/NSS and women. ...(Interruptions)... You are adding new castes under the OBC category and giving them reservation. ...(Interruptions)... But there is no creamy layer in any of the above reservation groups except the OBC. ...(Interruptions)... Due to creamy layer, only 7 per cent out of 27 per cent is filled up. ...(Interruptions)... So, I would like to know from the hon. Minister what are the reasons for not removing the creamy layer with regard to OBCs. ...(Interruptions)... I also want to know whether the Government is thinking of giving constitutional status for BC Commission. ...(Interruptions)... Oral Answers [27 November, 2014] to Questions 53
