Unanimous decision at all-party meeting chaired by CM
An all-party meeting on Friday unanimously agreed not to hold elections till the reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in local civic bodies in Maharashtra is restored. “All parties are unanimous on the demand that political reservation for OBCs must be restored in local civic bodies. It is a general consensus to not hold polls until the reservation is restored. We have received suggestions on what can be done, and based on that a final all-party meeting will be held next Friday,” said Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. The Supreme Court had scrapped the political reservation for OBCs observing that the total reservation was crossing the 50% mark.More Related News
