Rajasthan: OBC Quota Based on Population

In a significant development, Rajasthan will introduce a new system for determining OBC quota in panchayat and local body elections. The quota will now be based on the population of the state. This decision marks a departure from the existing lottery system. The new system will be implemented after a thorough review of the triple test report. The move is expected to bring more transparency and fairness to the election process. The state government has taken this step to ensure that the OBC community gets a fair representation in the local bodies.
