In Kerala, government employment statistics highlight significant representation disparities among major communities. Ezhavas and Nairs, comprising 41% of state employees, are prominently represented, with Ezhavas leading. Muslims and Christians each account for about 13% of the workforce. These figures have sparked controversy over perceived minority appeasement by political fronts. Vellappally Natesan of SNDP Yogam criticized both alliances for favoring minorities, prompting resignations and debates. Meanwhile, Other Backward Classes, including Ezhavas and Muslims, secure 52% of jobs, with no caste-based reservation for the general category.
