The Puducherry Congress Committee on Friday flayed N. R. Congress government for maintaining silence on the demand to implement 10% reservation policy for government school students in private medical colleges.
PCC chief A. V. Subramanian in a statement on Friday said the previous Congress government had taken a Cabinet decision to provide 10% reservation for government schools students in private medical colleges. The scheme could not be implemented by the Congress government following the decision of the then Lt. Governor Kiran Bedi not to process the file. Ms. Bedi had forwarded the Cabinet decision to the Union Government for its assent, the PCC chief said.
Almost 10 months have passed since the National Democratic Alliance government headed by All India N R Congress came to power in the Union Territory. Chief Minister N. Rangasamy has not uttered a word on implementing the reservation policy.
The Chief Minister should have approached the Centre to implement 10% reservation for government school students in private medical colleges, he said.
