Mayawati Urges UP Government to Appeal HC Stay on SC Reservation in Medical Colleges
Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati has urged the Uttar Pradesh government to appeal to the Supreme Court following the Allahabad High Court's stay on implementing nearly 91% reservation for Scheduled Caste students in MBBS admissions at four state medical colleges. These colleges were established using Special Component Plan funds aimed at SC welfare, and Mayawati argues the additional reservation should be separate from the general 50% quota. The High Court's order affects admissions, prompting calls for immediate Supreme Court intervention.
