The Yogi government has approached the Supreme Court regarding the issue of OBC reservation in the municipal elections in UP. The UP government has reached the Supreme Court against the High Court’s decision. The High Court had asked for elections without giving OBC reservation. The High Court has also asked to complete the election process in January itself. In such a situation, the UP government has demanded a stay on the order from the Supreme Court. According to the information, the hearing in this case can be held when the Supreme Court opens on January 2.
In fact, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court had said that this time the civic elections in the state will be held without OBC reservation. The UP government has approached the Supreme Court seeking a stay on this order.
The Yogi Adityanath government has constituted a five-member Backward Classes Commission to provide OBC reservation in the local body elections in UP.
