IndiaTimes Wednesday, 6 December 2023
The Centre informed the Rajya Sabha that there is no proposal to increase reservation for Other Backward Castes (OBCs) as per population in local body elections. OBCs are provided one-third reservation under Article 243D of the Constitution. However, 21 state governments have increased the reservation up to 50 per cent. In local bodies, there is a 50 per cent reservation for women, which includes provision for accommodating OBCs, Scheduled Castes, and Scheduled Tribes. State governments have the right to provide reservations for OBCs.

LS Polls 2024: Congress manifesto launch | Priyanka Gandhi, Kharge slam BJP, Modi | Oneindia News

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
