MUMBAI: NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday said the constitution amendment bill enabling states to have their own OBC lists will be of no benefit because almost all states have crossed the 50 per cent cap on reservation.
Addressing media here, the NCP chief referred to the Supreme Court’s 1992 ruling in the Indra Sawhney case, where it said that the total number of reserved seats/positions cannot exceed 50 per cent of what is available. “Two days back Centre asked states to prepare a list over OBC reservation. Many people think that the reservation can be provided by the state governments. But they’re being misled,” Pawar said.
