Bhopal OBC Organisations Unite After High Court Verdict On 27% Reservation, Vow Street-To-Court Battle

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): In response to the High Court's decision rejecting the government's proposal for 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates, all OBC organisations have come together. They have pledged a campaign from the streets to the courts and are committed to ensuring proper representation of backward classes before the government.

Representatives from APAKS, Madhya Pradesh Pichada Varg Sanyukth Sangarsh Morcha, Rashtriya OBC Mahasabha, and Akhil Bharatiya OBC Mahasabha attended the meeting held to discuss the matter. They emphasized the necessity of assessing OBC representation in government services and suggested that facts and evidence should be presented effectively before the court.

Instead of hastily drawing conclusions, they stressed the importance of holding serious deliberations about alternatives and the legal ramifications. Bhuvnesh Kumar Patel, patron of MP Pichada Varg Sanyukth Sangarsh Morcha, called for joint efforts instead of individual campaigns. Former Bhopal mayor Vibha Patel highlighted the significance of the reservation issue for lakhs of youths, urging a sensitive approach to the discussion.

Tulsiram Patel, acting president of Rashtriya OBC Mahasabha, reiterated the need for 27% reservation for the OBC community. Lalit Gaur, national president of Akhil Bharatiya OBC Mahasabha, stressed the importance of raising awareness among backward classes about reservation. Krishna Pal Singh, state president of APAKS Sangathan, recognized the new challenge faced by backward classes post the High Court order.
