LJP promises quota in pvt sector

Reservation will be extended to the private sector if LJP is voted to power in Bihar, its president Ram Vilas Paswan said today while ruling out any change in the existing quota policy, even that "of a coma or full stop".
"We will strictly follow the reservation as it is a constitutional right and no government can alter it. On behalf of the government, I can tell you that even a minor change of a coma or full stop will not be effected in the existing reservation system.
"These people (Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar) are unnecessary creating irrelevant things... We will implement reservation in the private sector too," Paswan said while releasing his party's manifesto.

The manifesto of LJP, which is one of the four constituents of NDA in Bihar, not only talked of increasing the threshold limit of existing 50 per cent quota but firmly believed in implementing reservation in private sector if the party comes to power.
Paswan, the union consumer affairs, food and public distribution minister, said if the party comes to power then the threshold limit of existing 50 per cent of quota would be increased and for this a resolution would be passed in the assembly for carrying out constitutional amendment.
Paswan, who was accompanied by his son and Lok Sabha member Chirag, said, "We will implement reservation policy in private sector as jobs are increasing in private sector while that of PSUs and government institutions have witnessed a decline in jobs. We will implement it in private sector step by step."

He, however, made it clear that posts of Classes III and IV would be filled in private sector by people of reserved category and at a later stage the technical posts too would be filled after giving proper training to them.
A controversy surrounding reservation started following RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's statement of reviewing the existing quota system, after which BJP distanced itself from the remarks.
