New Delhi : The Samajwadi Party (SP) Wednesday said it will hold street protests against the UPA government introducing a bill to provide quotas in promotions in government jobs.
SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav told reporters outside the Parliament House, soon after the bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha, that his party would oppose the draft law in its present form.
The party is demanding that quotas, as provided for scheduled castes and tribes in the present bill, also be provided to other backward castes.
“We will go to the people against the (promotions quota) bill,” said Mulayam Singh Yadav.
“No one will tolerate when a junior is made a senior and a senior is made a junior,” he added.
