Puri, Jun 02 (UNI) Puri Govardhan Peeth Shankaracharya Swamy Nischalananda today disclaimed the reservation policy saying it would bring 'disastrous' results for the state as it deprives talented ones from getting their deserved position.

He also told newsmen that the classes for whom the reservation was made were also dissatisfied as their profession had been successfully taken over by the upper class.

Swamy Nischalananda insisted that reservation should be on economic considerations, irrespective of caste, creed or religion.

''The best brains are migrating to other countries while the government is importing sub-standard intellects at a high price which is detrimental to the progress of the country,'' he commented.
