Include 27% reservation for OBC in State: SP


BHUBANESWAR: Samajwadi Party of Odisha has demanded the Government for inclusion of OBC reservation resolution in 9th schedule of the Constitution in view of recent High Court judgment on recruitment of constables and SAT judgment on OPSC advertisement.

In a recent judgment in the case of recruitment of Constables in Odisha Police, for which advertisement was made in the year 2006 for 2705 posts, High Court has directed the State to limit the reservation to 50 per cent. President of Odisha Samajwadi Party Rabi Behera said the Central Government has reserved 27 percent for OBC candidates in all categories of services whereas the State Government is yet to ensure 27 per cent reservation for these communities.

Even the State Government has not taken any step for admission of backward students in State sponsored Universities and Colleges, in spite of our repeated appeals to the Chief Minister for intervention in the matter for ensuring 27 per cent reservation for the backward classes both in employment and admission.

Behera requested the Governor of Odisha to intervene in the matter for which the interest of the other backward classes in the State can be protected.
