Where Will You Get Jobs From? Asks Shiv Sena After Parliament Approves General Category Quota

The Parliament had on Wednesday approved amending the Constitution to provide 10 per cent reservation to general category poor in government jobs and education.

A day after Parliament approved 10 per cent reservationto general category poor, the Shiv Sena on Thursday wondered where will the jobs come from and warned that if it is an election-driven move, then it will prove costly.

The Maratha community has been given reservation in바카라 웹사이트Maharashtra, but the question still remains that where are the바카라 웹사이트jobs, the Sena said.

The Parliament had on Wednesday approved amending the바카라 웹사이트Constitution to provide 10 per cent reservation to general바카라 웹사이트category poor in government jobs and education.

"When those in power fail on the twin fronts of바카라 웹사이트employment and poverty, they have to play the reservation바카라 웹사이트card," the Sena said in an editorial in party mouthpiece바카라 웹사이트'Saamana'.

"If this decision has been taken for votes, it will바카라 웹사이트prove costly. After 10 per cent reservation, what about바카라 웹사이트employment? Where will you get the jobs from?" it asked.

In India, the population of those over 15 years of age바카라 웹사이트is increasing by 13 lakh every month. Employing minors below바카라 웹사이트the age of 18 years is a crime, but child labour continues바카라 웹사이트unabated, said the Uddhav Thackeray-led party, which is an바카라 웹사이트ally of the ruling BJP at the Centre and in Maharashtra.

Around 80 to 90 lakh new job opportunities are needed바카라 웹사이트every year to balance the employment rate in the country, but바카라 웹사이트this calculation has been unstable for a while now, it noted.

"In the last two years, job opportunities have바카라 웹사이트decreased instead of increasing and about 1.5 crore to two바카라 웹사이트crore jobs have been lost due to decisions like demonetisation바카라 웹사이트and GST implementation. There is a feeling of helplessness바카라 웹사이트among youth," the Marathi publication said.

In 2018, 2.8 crore people applied for 90 lakh jobs in바카라 웹사이트Railways. Besides, for 1,137 positions in Mumbai Police, over바카라 웹사이트four lakh people applied and many of the applicants had more바카라 웹사이트educational qualifications than required, the Sena claimed.

"After the government's 10 per cent reservation, will바카라 웹사이트the eligible youth be able to gain anything? The prime바카라 웹사이트minister, who had advised youth to fry 'pakodas' (snack), had바카라 웹사이트to eventually give 10 per cent reservation to the economically바카라 웹사이트backward classes," it quipped.
