The state government had passed the reservation based on a caste census and set a previous 50% cap set by the BRS government.
However, the related ordinance and bill are still awaiting the President's approval. Without clearance, local body elections with the new OBC quota cannot be held.

Reacting to Congress leader P. Chidambaram's statement, Shah in Rajya Sabha said, "I want to ask him whether the 1965 and 1971 wars were decisive. If they were decisive, then why did terrorism continued to spread?...For all these years, no action was taken to intimidate them (terrorists), so why would have they been afraid?"
While addressing the Rajya Sabha today, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "Prithviraj Chavan has said that the government knows nothing except naming operations on the basis of religion. But the Congress doesn’t understand that 'Har Har Mahadev' is not just a religious slogan...They see everything from the angle of Hindu-Muslim."
Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the Rajya Sabha today and said that earlier, we only kept sending dossiers, but Narendra Modi gave a reply to them (Pakistan) with an airstrike and a surgical strike.
In Rajya Sabha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "...Today, standing in this House, I promise that Jammu & Kashmir will be free from terrorism. This is the resolve of the Narendra Modi government."

SIR is a system of the Election Commission and has been in force for decades. People oppose it for political reasons to serve their own interests. This is concerning and condemnable. Discussing SIR means you want a discussion against the EC. Can the Lok Sabha initiate a discussion on the EC? Those who do not understand the system of their constitution have no answer to this kind of argument."
Union Minister Prahlad Joshi on Wednesday said, "SIR is not happening for the first time. It happened in 2003 as well. It has happened many times. The Election Commission is an independent institution. The Election Commission makes decisions on this. There is no need to be afraid of this because it is being done scientifically using technology.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, addressing the Rajya Sabha, emphasised that Operation Sindoor should not be viewed only in the context of the present, but its role is also highly important in shaping India's future.

While speaking on Operation Sindoor debate, SP MP Akhilesh Yadav said, "The biggest question is - who will take responsibility for the security lapse?...The government which claims that there would be no terrorist incidents after the abrogation of Article 370 in J&K..."
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "In 2002, Atal ji's NDA government had brought POTA (The Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002). Who objected to the POTA then? It was the Congress party...After coming to power in 2004, the Sonia Gandhi-Manmohan Singh government scrapped the POTA law...For whose benefit did Congress scrap POTA?..."
Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the Lok Sabha and said, "Yesterday, they (Congress) were raising questions about why there was no war....Today, PoK exists only because of Jawaharlal Nehru...In 1960, they gave 80% of the Indus waters to Pakistan....In 1971, during the Simla Agreement, they (Congress) forgot about PoK.

Operation Sindoor was launched on 7th May and carried out between 1:04 am and 1:24 am. In this operation, nine terror sites in Pakistan were destroyed. No Pakistani civilians were killed in this attack."
Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Lok Sabha announced that our security forces neutralised more than 100 terrorists during Operation Sindoor.
On Congress leader P Chidambaram's statement, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "Yesterday they (Congress) were asking us where the terrorists came from and who was responsible for it. Of course, it is our responsibility as we are in power. Yesterday, former Home Minister Chidambaram ji raised the question -what is the proof that the terrorists came from Pakistan? I want to ask him what he will get by saving Pakistan. When he says this, it means they are giving a clean chit to Pakistan..."
On Operation Mahadev, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "... In the Operation Mahadev, Suleman alias Faizal..., Afghan and Jibran, these three terrorists were killed in a joint operation of the Indian Army, CRPF and J&K Police... Suleman was an A-category commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Afghan was an A-category Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist. And Jibran was also an A-grade terrorist...
