Bihar Assembly Uproar: RJD Demands 85% Reservation Amidst High Court Stay

• RJD MLAs in Bihar Assembly demand 85% reservation in government jobs and education, urging a proposal to the central government.
• Bihar government's previous attempt to implement 65% reservation after the 2024 caste census was stayed by the Patna High Court.
• The Patna High Court quashed the 65% reservation, citing violation of the Supreme Court's 50% limit from the 1992 Indira Sawhney case.
• Court stated the state government's decision was not based on concrete data of "adequate representation" but merely on population proportion.
• The Supreme Court's 1992 Indira Sawhney case set the reservation limit at 50% to balance equality and prevent reverse discrimination.
