The OBC Morcha of BJP Odisha has urged Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi to implement a 27% reservation for OBCs in education and employment, citing a significant population in the state lacking adequate representation. Meanwhile, in Maharashtra, Prakash Ambedkar of the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi has warned that 'Nizami Marathas' are attempting to appropriate OBC reservation, calling on the OBC community to resist this in the upcoming assembly elections. Ambedkar criticized demands for Maratha reservations under the OBC category, arguing that they threaten the existing system. He emphasized the need for OBC representation in the state assembly to protect their rights. In a related context, Aligarh MP Satish Gautam has called for SC/ST and OBC quotas at Aligarh Muslim University, likening it to the reservation system at Banaras Hindu University. This ongoing discourse highlights the broader challenges and political dynamics surrounding reservation systems for marginalized communities across India.
