Fact-Check: Did Gujarat completely abolish reservation in all sectors?

DFRAC Editor September 26, 2021
Fake

On September 23,2021,  a twitter user named Rupesh posted a claim that Gujarat is the first state to declare that caste based reservations are abolished in the state.

He went on to list the places where there will no longer be any reservation for the next 25 years including railways, buses, government jobs and promotions.

गुजरात देश का पहला राज्य बना, जहाँ पर आरक्षण को पूर्ण रूप से हटा दिया गया सरकारी नौकरी हो या पढाई सभी में आरक्षण को पूर्ण रूप से समाप्त घोषित कर दिया गया है। अब गुजरात में अगले 25 सालो तक
1. रेलवे में सफ़र 2. बसो में सफ़र 3. फ़िल्म 4. पढाई में
6. सरकारी नौकरी में 7. पदोनत्ति में

Rupesh’s tweet

We also performed a keyword search on twitter and found hundreds of the same claim going back to 2016. Most of the recent claims had a Times of India article attached to it.

Similar claim with the link to the article
Hundreds of similar claims were made

Fact-Check:

However, this is no such news anywhere including government websites. We checked all corners of the internet including newspaper archives to find a proof of this claim but could not find anything.

Article’s contents

Additionally, the link posted by many of the users to support their statement is actually about Meritorious candidates shifting to general category and does not say anything about stopping reservations.  

There is almost no connection between the claim and the link posted. Since the claim has no basis, it is therefore fake.
