The legal issue is simple:
1. Whether natural justice is being followed
2. Whether natural justice can be waived in some cases
3. Whether GCs, being a numerical minority in colleges post 50% reservation, can face discrimination also.
But the complex question is the electoral politics. In India, 30% UCs vote for BJP and 18% Muslims vote for Congress/opposition. This makes the 50% SC/ST/OBC vote a swing vote. The BJP has swayed enough of them to win (especially non-Yadav OBCs and EBC/Mahadalits). To secure this vote further it enacted these rules. But the GCs felt it was a witch-hunt against them. So a battle between two competing voting blocs.
The big winner could be Rahul Gandhi and the Congress. I firmly believe that Rahul will be the next PM. Modi is finished.
