PANAJI: A delegation under Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant will meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday to discuss the issue of reservation in the state Assembly for Scheduled Tribes, Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar said.
Speaking to PTI, he said the delegation will also have state minister Govind Gaude, and MLA Anthony Vaz besides ST representatives.
Earlier, on February 18, a delegation from the state had met Shah on the issue.
No seat in the 40-member Assembly is reserved for STs, who have been demanding that at least four seats be earmarked for them. One seat is reserved for Scheduled Castes.
ST groups have been demanding that the 2027 Assembly polls be held with reservations.
Earlier, CM Sawant had said efforts were on to form a delimitation commission before the Lok Sabha polls for seat reservation for STs.
