L'Assemblée du Bengale-Occidental adopte des projets de loi modifiant les quotas pour les OBC

L'Assemblée du Bengale-Occidental a adopté lundi deux projets de loi modifiant les précédentes lois sur les réservations en faveur des OBC, conformément à une directive de la Haute Cour de Calcutta.

Les projets de loi réduisent le quota pour les OBC de 17 % à 7 % et limitent les avantages à 66 catégories. Le ministre du Bien-être des classes défavorisées, Gaurishankar Ghosh, a déclaré à l'Assemblée que 113 catégories ajoutées sans enquête avaient été supprimées, tandis que 66 autres, étayées par des enquêtes, avaient été conservées.

Cette législation fait suite à une décision de la Haute Cour rendue en mai 2024, qui a annulé le statut d'OBC pour 77 communautés ajoutées après 2010 et invalidé environ 1,2 million de certificats délivrés depuis lors. Les certificats accordés avant 2010 restent valides.

Lors du vote, 186 membres ont soutenu ces mesures et 17 s'y sont opposés. Plusieurs législateurs dissidents du TMC ont quitté la séance, tandis que d'autres sont restés dans l'hémicycle.
