Parlament von Westbengalen verabschiedet Gesetze zur Änderung der OBC-Quoten

Das Parlament von Westbengalen hat am Montag zwei Gesetze verabschiedet, mit denen frühere Gesetze zur Reservierung für OBC in Übereinstimmung mit einer Anweisung des Calcutta High Court geändert werden.

Die Gesetze senken die OBC-Quote von 17 auf 7 Prozent und beschränken die Leistungen auf 66 Klassen. Der Minister für die Wohlfahrt rückständiger Bevölkerungsgruppen, Gaurishankar Ghosh, erklärte vor dem Parlament, dass 113 ohne Umfragen hinzugefügte Klassen gestrichen wurden, während 66 andere, die durch Umfragen gestützt werden, beibehalten wurden. Die Gesetzgebung folgte auf ein Urteil des High Court vom Mai 2024, das den OBC-Status für 77 nach 2010 hinzugefügte Gemeinschaften aufhob und etwa 1,2 Millionen seitdem ausgestellte Zertifikate für ungültig erklärte. Vor 2010 ausgestellte Zertifikate bleiben gültig. Bei der Abstimmung unterstützten 186 Mitglieder die Maßnahmen, während 17 dagegen stimmten. Mehrere abtrünnige TMC-Abgeordnete verließen den Saal, während andere im Sitzungssaal blieben.
