While eulogising Dr. B.R. Ambedkar for his stellar role in framing the Indian Constitution and in the uplift of the depressed classes, YSR Congress Party legislator V. Varaprasada Rao (Gudur, SC constituency) said a proposal for providing reservation in the judiciary should be sent to the Central government.
Mr. Varaprasada Rao was a former IAS officer and had even served as Tirupati Lok Sabha member.
Supplementing a question on the progress of installation of the 125-foot-tall statue of Dr. Ambedkar in Vijayawada city, in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, Mr. Varaprasad Rao said it was strange that there were no reservation in the judiciary, whereas the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Backward Classes (BCs) had a quota in the Parliament and the State Legislatures, and in the All India Services.
