[eebill] FW: Poor quota case...[SJ contemplating intervention]

[Gita Dewan Verma]

Looks like reserve-price is down from 25%EWS as part of DMP scheme under 
central DDAct to NDA Bill's 20%BPL under Del Edu Deptt directive, possibly 
not allowed by Delhi Edu Act.
GNCTD illegal permissions more than schools or DDA are to blame. with PM 
having ordered Bill, UPA HRD having made clear in early days it is inclined 
to stay with NDA Bill and Dikshit, HRLN in to these civ-soc Bill meetings, 
etc, SJ leaning to GNCTD in schools v/s GNCTD says all.
social-enactments is which laws? does the url to the gnctd affidavit return 
anyone the affidavit?
