Several cases of fraud through UPSC for entry to top Civil Services are being alleged. All such cases must be fully investigated and the sternest action taken. Selection on basis of competence and integrity should never get compromised.

I am in favour of SC/ST or OBC reservation. These reservations should continue, with the Creamy layer regulations being enforced.

However, the existing reservations for the physically & mentally handicapped and the proposed 1% reservation for the third gender for the top Civil Services need to be reviewed. They are being misused.
