Reserving jobs for the ‘weaker‘ sections is an idea whose time has come?! And they’re going to have a national policy for this. In the private sector. I guess ‘private’ doesn’t mean what I think it means!
I don’t believe this. Is this the same guy who also said, today in Mumbai, that he wants to make Mumbai the no. 1 city in Asia, making the world forget about cities like Shanghai. Well… does he think reservations are going to get him there?!!

I have reservations about that. :-D
is really sad that all politicians succumb to the ‘reservations’ route some day…. and that all potential leaders / statesmen turn out to be politicians in the end !
anya >> of course, everyone should reservations about it… after all, the time for reservations has come! ;-)
charu >> you see… reservations is sought to be the “fast-track” method to achieve equivalence. Now, anyone with a dime’s worth of intelligence can see that it’s a skewed logic.
