Lucknow, January 18: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Friday announced reservations in private sector firms carrying out projects in association with the state government under public-private partnership formula.

The decision in this regard was taken at a Cabinet meeting on Thursday, Chief Minister Mayawati said.

The state government's decision ensures reservation in all the outsourcing firms and individuals while employing staff for carrying out jobs in government and semi-government departments and agencies.

The decision was taken to ensure all round development of all the sections of the society, the Chief Minister added.

Such a decision has been taken for the first time in the country, she claimed.

Mayawati said that her government had on December 24 last year decided to implement reservation norms for private sector firms carrying out projects in association with the government under public-private partnership formula.

Earlier on August 10, last year the government had directed all the private organisations and industries, which got heavy subsidy from the state government to implement reservation norms voluntarily.

Reservation by Kishore on 19 Jan 2008

Guaranteed jobs or jobs which have government protection always lead to inefficiency and corruption. UP;s competitiveness can only decline.

Yet one more nail in the coffin of progress. No doubt few close corrupt relatives of this queen of corruption will find jobs, while others will still have to pay bribes.

Reservation in Pvt Org in UP by col ak tiwari,vsm on 19 Jan 2008

Private sector does not recruit based on caste but the competence. Private sector will stop dealing with UP govt now. Some of them may have enough representation from the reserved castes/tribes by default. Only they may be able to deal with the UP govt. It is disadvantage UP for sure.

Having done this, Mayawathi should show her courage by implementing income seiling limit to claim reservation benefit.If she is not, then it is the damn vote bank politics, the stupid and the curse of india.
