La Asamblea de Bengala Occidental aprueba proyectos de ley que modifican las leyes de cuotas para las OBC

La Asamblea de Bengala Occidental aprobó el lunes dos proyectos de ley que modifican las leyes anteriores de reserva para las OBC, en cumplimiento de una directiva del Tribunal Superior de Calcuta.

Los proyectos de ley reducen la cuota para las OBC del 17 al 7 por ciento y limitan los beneficios a 66 clases. El ministro de Bienestar de las Clases Desfavorecidas, Gaurishankar Ghosh, informó a la Cámara que se eliminaron 113 clases que habían sido añadidas sin estudios previos, mientras que se mantuvieron otras 66 que sí contaban con respaldo técnico. La legislación se produjo tras una sentencia del Tribunal Superior de mayo de 2024, que anuló el estatus de OBC para 77 comunidades añadidas después de 2010 y canceló alrededor de 1.2 millones de certificados emitidos desde entonces. Los certificados otorgados antes de 2010 siguen siendo válidos. Durante la votación, 186 miembros apoyaron las medidas y 17 se opusieron. Varios legisladores rebeldes del TMC abandonaron la sesión, mientras que otros permanecieron dentro del recinto.
