How has the issue of lateral entry affected marginalized communities as per Rahul Gandhi

According to Rahul Gandhi, how does the lateral entry system impact Dalits, OBCs, and adivasis?
Rahul Gandhi has expressed concerns about how the lateral entry system affects marginalized communities such as Dalits, OBCs, and adivasis:
  • 1. Lateral entry can lead to the exclusion of marginalized communities from important decision-making roles within the government.
  • 2. It can perpetuate existing inequalities by favoring candidates from privileged backgrounds who may not understand or represent the needs of marginalized communities.
  • 3. Limited representation of Dalits, OBCs, and adivasis in the lateral entry process can result in policies and programs that do not address their specific challenges and struggles.
  • 4. The lack of diversity in the lateral entry system could further marginalize already underrepresented communities in governance and decision-making processes.
