Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressing presspersons after a special Cabinet meeting, in Bengaluru on Friday. In yet another formula arrived at to fork out internal reservation among the 101 Scheduled Castes in Karnataka, the Congress government on Friday announced a matrix with 5.25% each to Category 1 (Madigas and allied castes/Dalit left) and Category 2 (Holeyas and allied castes/Dalit right), and 4.5% to Category 3 (Bhovi, Lambani, Korama, Koracha and 59 nomadic communities) within the 15% reservation for SCs. The government hopes to kickstart the recruitment process that has been stalled for over a year now after the announcement of the formula.
