May 07, 2025

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday welcomed the Supreme Court order to hold local body and municipal polls in the state within four months, which had been stalled since 2022, due to legal battles regarding reservation for other backward classes.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

"We are very happy that the direction has been given to conduct the civic elections in four months. We have asked the Maharashtra state election commission to start preparations for it," Fadnavis said.

Speaking about the Supreme Court's direction to hold local body elections in Maharashtra, with OBC reservation set to the percentage which had existed before submission of the Jayant Kumar Banthia Commission report in July 2022, Fadnavis said, "This means that reservation for OBCs will be retained, as it existed and we are happy about it".
