Lucknow : A day after Chief Minister Mayawati expelled BSP leader
Vinod Tejiyan from the party and sacked him from the post of
vice-chairman of UP Forest Corporation after he disrupted railway
traffic to demand reservation in promotions for Dalits in state
services, the UP government on Tuesday made an appeal to the SC, ST
employees not to indulge in activities that could cause law and order
problem. Tejiyan, who enjoyed the status of minister of state, was
arrested on Monday in Saharanpur.

Principal Secretary (Home) Kunwar Fateh Bahadur, who is also the
principal secretary in the Department of Appointment, said the state
government is pursuing the case of the reservation in favour of SC/ST
employees in the Supreme Court. He said the government filed a SLP in
the Supreme Court on January 4 against the decision of the Allahabad
High Court, which had quashed the provisions to provide consequential
seniority to SC/ST employees and reservation in promotion to them in
the state services. Bahadur said, the Supreme Court passed an order
stating: "Status Quo, as its exists today, shall be maintained by the
parties until further orders."

Meanwhile, Tejiyan who was released on bail yesterday, has been
declared an absconder by the GRP. ENS
