The government was taking effective steps to rid the country of corruption and nepotism, he said, while assuring firm action against economic offenders, even if put up abroad. The Centre’s 10 per cent quota for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in the general category in education and government jobs will not impact the existing reservation benefits for Dalits, Tribals and OBCs, Modi said. The EWS quota had been earmarked with the ‘spirit’ of providing opportunities to all in education and employment. “This decision has been taken in such a way that it doesn’t impact Dalits, tribals and OBCs who are already availing the benefits of reservation,” he added.
