The government tonight decided to carve out a sub-quota of 4.5 per cent for minorities within the 27 per cent reservation for OBCs, a move which comes ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
The Union Cabinet, at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, took the decision that would pave way for reservation in government jobs and educational institutions for minorities as defined in section 2 © of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992.
