Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Madurai, Tamil Nadu defended the 10% reservation for the ‘economically weaker section’ (EWS) stating that 10% quota won’t affect the existing reservation
on Sunday.
In a public meeting in Madurai, PM Modi said, “The opposition was in an argument which is why PM Modi promised that the quota will not affect those who enjoy reservation at present. The decision has been taken in such a way that it does not affect dalits, tribals or other backward classes who are already availing the benefits of reservation.”
He included, “It is unfortunate that some people create suspicion and mistrust in Tamil Nadu to serve their self-interest.”
The 10% quota is a new quota which was one of the measures among others to provide employment opportunity and education to all sections of society.

“The Union government is taking effective steps against corruption. All those who cheated or looted the country shall be brought to justice. This is regardless of whether they are in India or abroad.”
