Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has terminated reservation for SC, ST, and OBC candidates in private medical colleges

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that private medical and dental colleges in Uttar Pradesh did not provide reservations for SC, ST, and OBC students, but says this was not a new policy initiated by the Yogi Adityanath government. The review says the relevant 2017 order had been issued by the preceding Samajwadi Party government, and that the existing policy predated Yogi Adityanath’s tenure.
