OBC quota in medical colleges 'step taken late': BSP supremo Mayawati

| @indiablooms | Jul 30, 2021, at 08:25 pm

Lucknow/UNI: Bahujan Samaj Party(BSP) president Mayawati termed the Centre's decision to give OBC Quota in medical colleges admission as a late step and claimed that it was a decision for political interest.

In a series of tweets on Friday , Mayawati said, "Announcement of OBC quota in All-India UG and PG seats of Government Medical Colleges in the country is a very late step. If the central government had taken this decision in advance, they would have benefited a lot by now, but now people think this decision was taken for political interest".

Further she said ,"Although the BSP has been continuously demanding to fill the backlog posts of SC, ST and OBC quota in government jobs for a long time, the governments of other states including the Centre and UP are consistently indifferent towards the real interest and welfare of these sections. It is very sad."
