He added Modi Govt has taken many decisions for welfare of the weaker sections of the Society and accordingly the Modi Govt taken a decision to implemented OBC reservation in J&K by replacing the discriminatory Social Caste 'OSC' category.
Subsequently the Modi Govt taken another big decision for Empowering OBCs of J&K by extending Reservation to OBCs in Panchayats and Urban Local Body Elections, which was available under Panchayati Raj System but the previous Govts denied the same to OBCs.
Previous Govts have denied reservation under OBC category and granted mere 2% reservation under OSC category thus rendering OBC as ineligible for reservation in Panchayats and Municipality Elections.
