promotionIt has to be seen how the BJP allows the functioning of the house as they have not allowed either House to function for the last 10 days demanding the Prime Minister's resignation in connection with a coal scandal. The party however supports the reservation-in-promotions bill. The bill will need the support of a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament and in presence of at least half the total member as it seeks to amend the Constitution. The Samajwadi Party is against the bill. SP had openly aired its displeasure in the all party meet held by the Prime Minister in August regarding the constitutional amendment for promotion on the basis of quota as they were vehemently demanding the inclusion of the OBC’s in the proposal.

If the government can get the bill passed in the Rajya Sabha tomorrow, it plans to bring it in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
