Upper Caste Poor  

The BJP’s ally SUBHASPA, headed by OP Rajbhar, the Cabinet minister in the state, has got an opportunity to put pressure on chief minister Yogi Adityanath to go in for a quota within the 27% of the OBC reservation

After reservation for upper caste poor across all religions, the Modi government is planning to transfer Rs 2,000-2,500 per month to every BPL household as part of its welfare push through DBT.

The BJP's aim is to woo back the upper castes, who have so far been taken for granted by the party. To start off, the Modi government on Monday okayed 10% quota for upper caste poor over and above the existing quotas.

MyNation, on September 12, 2018, was the first to report that the Modi government was seriously mulling the introduction of income-based reservation for upper castes. Constitution would soon be amended for making way for this reservation without touching those for the SC/ST and OBC
