BENGALURU:

The assurance from the deputy CM came even as objections are being raised to the report by certain sections of society, and voices against it from within the ruling Congress, other than the opposition BJP.

The Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes' report was placed before the cabinet on Friday, and it will be discussed at a special cabinet meeting scheduled on April 17.

The commission, under its then chairman K Jayaprakash Hegde, submitted the report to chief minister Siddaramaiah on February 29 last year.

"The CM has spoken about it. I have not yet seen the report as I was visiting Belagavi and Mangaluru yesterday. It has to be discussed in the cabinet. Apparently, the CM has said that it will be discussed in the Assembly too. No one will take any hasty decision," Shivakumar said.
