Shashil Namoshi urges government to resume recruitment process

Expressing displeasure over the State government’s order to halt all recruitment processes until the reclassification of internal reservation was implemented, MLC Shashil G Namoshi has urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to withdraw the order and resume the recruitment process immediately.

The State Cabinet on Thursday received the H.N. Nagamohan Das Commission’s report on internal reservation among Scheduled Castes in State, and the government decided to discuss the report in a special Cabinet meeting on August 16. Mr. Namoshi urged Mr. Siddaramaiah not to dilly-dally, but implement it at earliest as the Chief Minister promised that the State government would implement internal reservation for Scheduled Castes within two days of receiving the final report from the committee.

Several posts lying vacant in several departments had severely affected administrative work and development. Mr Namoshi said that nearly 2,76,386 posts were vacant in various departments in the State, of which 47,575 posts were vacant in Kalyana Karnataka region, he added.

“We doubt the government’s commitment in implementing the internal reservation among Scheduled Castes, and the government should make it clear if it intends to implement internal reservation or not” Mr. Namoshi said.
