The Cabinet on Tuesday cleared a Bill which provides for the reservation to the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in government job promotions.

Congress's new-found ally, the Samajwadi Party had earlier lashed out at the Centre saying that while reservation of jobs for SCs/STs and OBC candidates was fine, reservations in promotions would not be such a good idea. Although the party leaders indicated that they wanted a similar provision for the OBCs in job promotions, SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav said the party still opposed the Bill.
