Earlier there were only five Rajya Sabha members from SC community, now it has become seven from the SC community. A general secretary post is reserved for the SC community at the national level. A general secretary post is reserved at the state as well as in th district. SC workers have also increased due to them. And the workers have also worked to increase SC vote bank in all the states."
