State Home Minister G Parameshwara dismissed speculation of divisions within the ruling Congress over internal reservation within the Scheduled Caste quota.

He said the government would take a final decision in the next Cabinet meeting after resolving certain technical aspects.

Parameshwara clarified that there are no factions within the government, and different people express different opinions.

Discussions are continuing within the government on how to proportionately distribute reservation among sub-groups within the Scheduled Caste category.

The state Cabinet postponed a decision on implementing internal reservation within the Scheduled Caste quota, saying the matter required further deliberation.

The government is committed to implementing internal reservation but needs clarity on legal aspects before arriving at a final decision.
