A reality check

If govt wants to amend Article 15 & 16, it requires constitutional amendment passed with 2/3rd majority and also assent of the states. This is unlikely to happen

If the govt breaches the 50 percent ceiling set by SC, it will be struck down by SC
The legal uncertainty of the amendment coupled with the fact that its unlikely to pass through Rajya Sabha substantiated the argument of Electoral gimmicks ahead of 2019 polls
The 'quota within quota' concept has been problematic for the determination of the relevant beneficiaries. It also requires a steady co-operation of Centre and states. Without political consensus the idea will die on paper
How will the Centre make it 'reasonable' to have caste criteria for economically weaker sections. An exact opposite to the idea of 'creamy layer', it is arguably arbitrary in concept.
