Where did lateral entry in UPSC start?
While Nehru initiated lateral recruitment in the past, the congress is currently erecting obstacles in the name of reservations. The powerful in the country had the power to give lateral entry to two to four people. The prime minister and the President have this power. First of all, K R Narayan was made through this. It happened during the tenure of Congress. At that time, the then PM was Nehru. K R Narayan came from a Vaidya family, he studied in London. Later he became the President of India. Laski of london had written a letter, in which he said that what will be the future of a poor student in a country like India. He is worried about this. Therefore, Nehru respected the letter and seeing his ability, gave lateral entry. After that he joined the indian Foreign Service.
Even after this, all the governments continued it according to their own convenience. bjp started it for the benefit in administration. And it also benefits, because this is not for class one but this post is above that. The supreme Court's guideline has already been decided that when reservation was given during empowerment, then where does the need for reservation arise. And reservation has been given at the time of entry into class one. In such a situation, the prime minister did not put the truth in front of the public, rather he feared losing votes and took it back. Which is not a good thing for the country and society. It is clear that Congress started this.
