Only BSP has the guts to say that the poor in upper castes need reservation. Three cheers to Mayavathi. I wish her to be the PM of our country. We need people with guts not vote bank politicians.

Reservation on the basis of cast was to bring up oppressed class of people. It was necessary as we all know upper cast people has been suppressing their fellow citizens who were weak. I feel giving reservation on the basis of economical status is wrong. Childrens of poor should be given scholarships to persue their education and/or low interest rate loans to start up a business. As for as cast based reservation is concerned we should try to phase it out. Best to phase it out is no one can use the benefit of reservation more than twice. the childrens of people who has been benefitted with reservation and are doing good (economically) should not be given reservation. This will transfer the benefits to real poor people from the concerned casts. Hope better sense prevail among our politicians and more importantly citizens.
