Former Bihar Chief Minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha national president, Jitan Ram Manjhi Saturday demanded that the report of the caste census be made public and reservation for all categories be increased in proportion to their population.
He also demanded that the cap on reservation ceiling be increased to 90-95 per cent.
Replying a query on Parliament approving the 10 per cent reservation to general category poor, Manjhi said that "I am not opposed to the decision of giving quota (10 per cent). I am saying that communities (OBC, EBC, SC and ST) be given their share in reservation as their rights."
