Madhya Pradesh OBC Federation to Challenge Court Over 27% Reservation Cut

The High Court of Madhya Pradesh has lowered the OBC reservation quota from 27% to 14%, a move that has sparked outrage among the state's OBC community. The decision, which came after a review of the state's reservation policy, was seen as a significant reduction in affirmative action benefits. In response, the Madhya Pradesh OBC Mahasabha has vowed to challenge the ruling in the Supreme Court, filing a petition that seeks to restore the original quota. The federation has also announced that it will organize a statewide protest, with dates to be announced soon. The move is expected to mobilize thousands of OBC voters across the state, potentially impacting upcoming elections and prompting a broader debate on reservation reforms.
