Andhra Pradesh Quota Law

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy is all set to hold an investment summit, in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs, next month in a bid to boost foreign investment - and create jobs -- in the state. The event, expected to be attended by representatives from more than 30 countries, will be held in Amaravati on August 9.

The Andhra Pradesh government has announced it will give only five per cent reservation to the economically weaker sections (EWS) under the Centre's 10 per cent quota, setting aside the rest to the upper caste Kapus.

The Union Cabinet decided not to push Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's pet anti-corruption bills through ordinances, but used a special sitting on Sunday to approve reservation for the Jat community and also changes in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill that provides for a Telangana state.
