Minister calls meeting to discuss quota issue; sports lobby up in arms.
The reservation quagmire looks set to haunt Uttar Pradesh again. At risk this time is the states sports fraternity, as the Mulayam Singh Yadav government plans to introduce quota in sports, though the modalities are yet to be worked out.
The fact is that most of our sports persons are from the backward region and backward castes. The move to introduve quotas is nothing more than a political gimmic to try and garner votes. Sometimes, I wonder where will this quota mess stop…
