Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has reiterated that the State Government is firmly committed to ensuring 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs). He said that the matter is currently under consideration in the Supreme Court, where hearings on the issue will begin daily from September 22, 2025. An all-party meeting was held at the Chief Minister’s residence to build consensus on the issue. Representatives of all political parties unanimously passed a resolution supporting a 27% reservation for OBCs. It was also decided that lawyers representing various parties will meet before September 10 to coordinate their arguments. CM Dr. Yadav said that all political parties are united in their resolve to provide 27% reservation to OBCs in the state. He assured that candidates deprived of appointment letters due to interim judicial orders would be given justice through a collective effort by the legislature, judiciary, and executive.
The Chief Minister emphasised that wherever legally permissible, the State Government has already implemented 27% reservation. For instance, in departments like Public Works, where there was no stay, full OBC reservation has been granted. He added that the State is ready to seek guidance from senior legal experts to ensure a strong defense in court. CM Dr. Yadav also said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s initiative of caste-based census will further strengthen efforts to secure rightful representation for OBCs. The Chief Minister’s initiative to convene an all-party meeting was widely appreciated by leaders across the political spectrum.
