After the Supreme Court cleared the decks for the implementation of reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the local body elections in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, the party in Maharashtra led by Devendra Fadnavis lashed out at the tripartite ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’s’ government for its “ineptness” in completing the triple test which would have ensured reservation for the State’s OBC community ahead of the local body polls.
Mr. Fadnavis claimed that the MVA’s alleged foot-dragging had virtually “murdered” OBC reservation issue in the State.
“This government has literally killed off the OBC reservation… It is now clear that the State government’s incompetence has brought this suffering for the OBCs. Those in responsible posts ought to be tendering their resignations,” said the BJP leader.
