Minister Kadakampally Surendran has turned into a Brahmin friend by saying economic conditions is the need of the hour for reservation. Minister said: “Rich and poor can be found among people belonging to upper and lower castes. We want reservation for economically backward persons irrespective of their caste and religion. This is CPM’s stance.”
Reservation being a policy matter how can a minister say about reservation without any debate. Perhaps he is intended to woo the gathering at the Sree Pushpaka Brahmana Seva Sangam meet.
It is wrong on the part of the minister to say Brahmins are the victims of land reforms. In fact, Brahmins and upper class people are working in the high level posts in public and private establishments. In banks, schools, colleges, universities, govt. departments, boards etc Ezhava, Muslims, Dalit Christians, SC/ST are a neglected lot and it was categorically established by Justice Narendran Commission Report. Before declaring unilaterally, Kadakampally and his party should make a social audit and try to understand the reality.
