Key Questions Answered
Shiv MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati started a five-day journey on September 25 to demand practical changes and simplification of rules for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) reservation. The yatra aims to ensure that benefits genuinely reach weaker families by addressing issues like eligibility rules, certificate validity, and political representation.
Bhati has questioned the five-acre land condition for EWS eligibility, arguing that determining a family's economic status solely by land area is inappropriate in regions like Barmer-Jaisalmer. He argues that aspects such as agricultural productivity, irrigation, and the actual utility of the land should be considered instead.
Bhati demanded an extension of the validity of EWS certificates, recognition of state-issued certificates for central jobs, and a simplified income determination process. He also called for adequate political representation for the EWS category in Panchayati Raj institutions.
