Cong does not know the procedure required for reserving seats: BJP's Mahesh Jethmalani

The Congress wants to know today why we are not implementing this Bill now. Fact is, it can't be implemented now because current reservation and Delimitation goes by the population of 1971. You need latest data because population has more than doubled since 1971. The procedure of identifying reserved categories can't be avoided by the EC. Identifying reserved seats can't be done by arbitrary diktat of the EC as the constitutional requirement is for setting up a Delimitation commission, conducting public hearings, etc. You people do not know the procedure required for reserving seats, said BJP's Mahesh Jethmalani.
