The Indian government has directed the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to cancel its recent advertisement for 45 lateral entry positions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for a review of the scheme, emphasizing the need to align it with reservation principles. The current scheme, aimed at hiring specialists for government roles, has faced criticism for not including reservation for marginalized communities. Opposition parties and key NDA allies, including LJP and JDU, have voiced their concerns, increasing pressure on the government to address the issue and ensure social justice.
