|July 05, 2025
Uttar Pradesh minister and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief Om Prakash Rajbhar has renewed his longstanding demand for sub-categorisation within the OBC and Scheduled Caste reservation ahead of the upcoming three-tier panchayat elections in the state.
Rajbhar, who holds the panchayati raj portfolio, met chief minister Yogi Adityanath at his official residence here on Friday, accompanied by SBSP national spokesperson and general secretary Arun Rajbhar. The minister submitted a proposal seeking separate reservation sub-quotas for “backward,” “extremely backward,” and “most backward” castes within the existing OBC and SC quotas.Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Rajbhar said he would soon call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to press for the implementation of this sub-categorisation through legislation.
