An interesting counterpoint to the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's decision to ban management quota in Delhi Schools is that it attacks autonomy, and also that it reduces incentive for private players to open schools.
This old article on RTE gives similar arguments for that law as well. https://realitycheck.wordpress.com/2013/02/23/delhi-nursery-admissions-meets-the-rte/
However, the point to ponder is that by allowing elite 'Ivy league' schools to have huge management quotas, aren't we allowing the principle of equality to be breached?
Having said that, would you be comfortable to allow your kid to be educated alongside those of your maid (esp thinking about the 'ill habits' s/he might pick up from them, not considering some inspiration they could pick up from the amount of hard work they can put in).
It is only when you put the larger question of RTE/Private schooling in a very personal context that the subject gets very confusing to debate! I for now am still debating with myself.

"Is it not likely that by taking away private incentives to open schools, in which the management quota is one attraction, he too will end up closing more schools than making the admissions process more rational.
Even laws like RTE will shrink capacity, undermine property rights, equal protection, and freedom of occupation."
