ST reservation in Goa Legislative Assembly not possible as the population of ST's in Goa is very small; this is also clear according to the census data says MoS Athawale

 According to MoS (Minister of State) Ramdas Athawale, implementing reservation for Scheduled Tribes (ST) in the Goa Legislative Assembly is not viable due to the relatively small ST population in the state. He based his statement on census data, which indicates that the ST community in Goa is not substantial enough to warrant legislative reservation. This assertion comes amidst discussions on representation and political rights for marginalized communities in various regions of India.
