The Maharashtra unit of the BJP on Saturday held 'chakka jam' protest across the state to press for its demand of restoring reservation for the OBC in local governing bodies.
The political parties have challenged the decision of Centre not granting 50 per cent reservation to OBC’s in seats surrendered by Tamil Nadu in the All India Quota for under graduate, post graduate medical and dental courses in a current academic session.DMK, in its plea, had said that it was opposing the denial of implementation of 50 per cent OBC policy of the state, other than in central government institutions.
Describing the 'denial' of quota as injustice, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday demanded that the provision of reservation for OBC students be implemented in the NEET conducted for admission to medical courses.
After Chief Minister Kamal Nath recently announced the new ceiling for the reservation, he was felicitated by a host of OBC organisations on the Independence Day eve. The state will be first to have 27 per cent reservations for backward classes if the court clears it.
Addressing the gathering after hoisting the national flag at Police Parade Ground in Raipur, Baghel also announced creation of a new district, Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi, taking the number of districts in the state to 28.
However, the move has not gone down well with some of the allies of the BJP. Apna Dal leader and Union minister Anupriya Patel has said that her party will not support any such move until the data of caste census comes out in public domain.
The Supreme Court also clarified that the state will not cross 50% of reservation until the writ petition is decided by High Court.
Speaking to India TV, Alpesh Thakor demanded that a survey should be conducted to assess the demand of the Patel community and the report be presented in the state Assembly for discussion.
