Scheduled castes will get reservation as per population proportion: Chhattisgarh CM

Scheduled Castes (SCs) in Chhattisgarh will be provided reservation in proportion to their population in the state, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said here on Sunday.
Mr. Baghel made this announcement at a programme to mark the death anniversary of Minimata, the first woman MP from Chhattisgarh.
The quota for SCs was reduced from 16% to 12% in 2012 when the BJP was in power. 
SCs, who make up around 12.8% of population in the state, are presently getting 12% reservation. There is a demand to raise the quota percentage.
“Scheduled Castes will be provided reservation in proportion to their population in the state,” Mr. Baghel said.
