How can the Indian Parliament exceed the 50% cap on reservations

Congress party has expressed the need for a law on reservations exceeding the 50% cap.

To exceed the 50% cap on reservations in the Indian Parliament, the Congress party may pursue the following actions through legislation:

Passing a constitutional amendment: The easiest way to exceed the 50% cap is by amending the Constitution to allow for a higher percentage of reservations.
Establishing special provisions: Introducing special provisions in the law to justify reservations exceeding the cap, such as social and economic backwardness, can help in justifying the need for higher reservations.
Ensuring judicial review: Including provisions in the legislation that protect it from being struck down by the judiciary for exceeding the reservation cap can provide legal support for the higher reservations.

These steps can be taken to address the need for reservations exceeding the 50% cap in the Indian Parliament.
