India's Congress President Kharge accuses BJP of undermining reservation policies for marginalized communities via lateral entry job recruitments.

India's Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accuses the BJP government of undermining reservation policies for marginalised communities, including SC, ST, and OBC, through lateral entry job recruitments. Kharge believes the BJP is circumventing these reservation policies, thus marginalising these communities from government jobs and challenging constitutional provisions for social justice. The recent recruitment of 45 senior-level officers through the lateral entry method has drawn criticism for not including reservations for SC, ST, OBC, and EWS categories.
