Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis categorically stated here on Tuesday that the jobs meant for the OBCs would in no way be given away to candidates belonging to other categories.
Speaking at the third national convention of the Rashtriya OBC Mahasangh held here, Fadnavis said: “In no way, the seats meant for the OBCs would be given to any other individuals from non-OBC categories. The seats meant for the OBCs will go to OBCs only.”
Fadnavis’ statement should be seen in the context of media reports that the Other Backward Classes are opposing likely inclusion of the Marathas in the OBC category for quota benefits.
