PATNA: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday came out in support of the demand for a constitutional amendment that could pave way for introducing reservations in job promotions "We have always been for reservations in promotions. We had introduced this provision for the SCs and STs in Bihar. Our decision was challenged and struck down by the high court. "But it must be understood that reservation is meant for the limited, though important, purpose of enabling the deprived sections of the society to avail of equal opportunities. The sole objective of the quota system is to create a condition, wherein every segment of the society will become a part of the social mainstream."
