In a letter written to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, Opposition Leader in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has called for the implementation of the 27% OBC reservation and the appointment of candidates whose selection process has already been completed. The Congress leader shared the letter on social media, initially posting an incorrect version which was subsequently deleted and corrected before reposting.

During his September 19 Chhatron Ki Goonj program in Indore, Gandhi had raised concerns about education, employment, and the future of students. The letter stated that the 27% OBC reservation was supported unanimously by all political parties, however, the issue remains unresolved. As a result, selected candidates have been waiting for their appointments since 2022 due to the 87:13 formula.

The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, responded to Gandhi's letter at a media program, blaming the Congress party for the ongoing OBC reservation dispute. Yadav claimed that the reservation was a mistake by the Congress and alleged that the party implemented it without proper preparation. He stated that the state government had not put the 13% posts on hold, but rather, it was the court that had ordered the hold. Yadav clarified that the court, not the state government, played a role in the reservation matter.
