NEW DELHI, Sep 21: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi demanded quota for Other Backward Classes (OBC) within the 33% of seats proposed to be reserved for women in the Women's Reservation Bill.
He presented data that among the 90 secretaries of the GOI only 3 persons belong to the OBC and control 5% of India’s budget.
Gandhi added this shows how underrepresented the OBCs are and the Modi government’s non-serious attitude towards the OBC.
Gandhi also stressed on the need for a caste census as soon as possible and to release the data on the caste census done by UPA government.
