Agitation by unions for and against reservation:

This looks strange but is true that the two sets of Uttar Pradesh Government employees launched a massive agitational programme with one of them doing it to oppose the reservation bill under discussion in Parliament, and the other one doing it in support of the move. It happens often that different unions in an organisation don’t have unanimity on certain industrial issues and accordingly their  modes of agitation are different, but a situation like unions fighting against each other on the same issue with divergent views is just so peculiar. One group even worked four hours extra expressing their support to pro reservation in promotions bill. It was a different matter that their strength was only negligible. The group opposing the reservation was virtually able to paralyse the work in different offices of the U.P. Government. Even senior officers of the SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) rank joined the move. Situation, as reported by the media, appears to be the same in other states of the country also offering stiff resistance against the additionally proposed reservation in promotions too besides the one that already is in existence on job reservation.

That is all an internal conflict and caste basis.

AS IF IT WAS NOT ENOUGH, THE SAMAJWADI PARTY HAS THREATENED NOT ONLY TO REVIEW SUPPORT TO THE UPA ON THE ISSUE OF QUOTA IN PROMOTIONS BILL, BUT HAVE COME UP WITH THE DEMAND FOR RESERVATION TO MUSLIMS IN GOVERNMENT JOBS.

I understand that the issue of reservation in promotion is not a big issue for the politicians,the issue is only Vote Bank.Madam Mayawati would be worried on the result of recent Assembly Election because she has been rejected by thumping majority and it can not be denied that her commited Vote Bank,may be partial,would have been shifed to other side.Thus,this may be the reason to create a new issue.
As far the opposition of Samajvadi party is concern,there is also the same problem ie Vote Bank because in the present scenario in the politics of Utter Pradesh,where the BSP is gainer at the place SP is looser.In such circumstances no option was left before BSP except to remoblize her Vote Bank.Similarly S.P.too,has no option but to oppose of this amendment.S.P.,some time demand reservation for Muslim & other s while some time S.P. supremo express his worries about increase of differences in the society.
In fact,the reservation that too in promotion ia a cheating and befooling to nation.
