	Abstract 			= {It is evident that the ruling party is on uncertain ground as it prepares for the coming general election later this year. This is the message from the 10 per cent reservation announced for the economically backward upper castes, in addition to the present quota for SCs, STs and OBCs. The proposed reservation is an unmistakable violation of the principles enshrined in the constitution.}
