Centre failed to provide empirical data on OBCs in the Supreme Court, party says
As the row over the Supreme Court’s decision to scrap reservation for OBCs (Other Backward Class) in Maharashtra’s local civic bodies escalates, the Congress on Friday announced it would hold State-wide protests on June 26 against the Central government, claiming it had failed to provide empirical data on OBCs to present in the court. The Congress’ decision comes a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) announcement to hold similar protests across the State against the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance government, of which the Congress is a part. BJP leader Pankaja Munde on Thursday alleged that the State government had failed to present the interests of OBCs in the Supreme Court, leading to the verdict against the community.More Related News
