South First Debate: BJP’s politics of Reservation redistribution in Karnataka

Ahead of assembly polls, the BJP government in Karnataka led by Basavaraj Bommai has moved to placate two dominant castes — Vokkaligas and Lingayats by promising re-categorisation of quota but the math isn’t quite worked out.

On The Debate, South First’s Political Editor Anusha Ravi Sood speaks to SM Jaamdar, a former IAS officer, and Prof Hariram, an advocate and activist, to decode the reservation redistribution and its political repercussions.
