Bengal BJP Govt Rolls Back OBC Quota Hike, Scraps 113 Groups Added Under TMC

The West Bengal Assembly has passed two major Bills that overhaul the state's OBC reservation framework. The BJP government led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has restored OBC reservation to 7% from 17% and removed 113 caste groups added during the previous TMC regime. The government says the move follows the Calcutta High Court's 2024 verdict and restores the authority of the Backward Classes Commission. The decision is expected to trigger a major political confrontation over reservation policy, social justice and allegations of vote-bank politics. #WestBengal, #OBCReservation, #SuvenduAdhikari, #BJP, #TMC, #MamataBanerjee, #ReservationRow, #BengalPolitics, #BreakingNews, #IndiaNews, #CalcuttaHighCourt, #OBCQuota, #PoliticalNews, #LatestNews, #WestBengalAssembly —————————————————————————————————————————— TOI Bharat – Your Window to India And Its Neighbourhood TOI Bharat delivers the latest news, biggest voices, sharpest views and in-depth coverage of India’s political, social and economic landscape.
