Reservation Debate: Why The BJP Can't Afford To Take A Stand

What exactly was discussed, what assurances were given, and why has the government remained silent on the protesters' key demands? With the creamy layer debate, EWS quota, the Rohini Commission report and upcoming elections all adding to the pressure, is the BJP deliberately choosing dialogue over a decision to avoid political blowback?
