A delegation of the OBC Mahasabha met Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday morning at the Samatva Bhavan, the official residence of the Chief Minister. During the interaction, the Chief Minister emphasized that the issue of reservation for other backward classes in the state is extremely important, and the state government remains fully committed to safeguarding OBC interests. He noted that every possible effort is being made to establish a fair and logical framework. With this objective in mind, an all-party meeting was previously convened on the OBC reservation matter, and consultations were held with all prominent OBC organizations to present a robust case before the honorable court.
The Chief Minister further stated that the administration is working to find an appropriate resolution to the matter rather than attempting to delay it. He underscored that the policy and intent of the state government regarding reservation for other backward classes are completely transparent. He informed the delegation that a point-by-point study of the honorable court's ruling on OBC reservation has been completed, and directives have already been issued to strongly represent the state's stance before the Supreme Court. In line with this directive, the Advocate General's Office of Madhya Pradesh filed an SLP, titled State of M.P. versus Ashita Dubey and Others, in the Supreme Court on Friday evening.
Delegations Submit Memorandum
During the meeting, the visiting delegations submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. The document urged for a constitutional resolution based on updated data regarding the High Court verdict delivered on October 9, 2026, concerning the 27 percent OBC reservation in Madhya Pradesh, with the ultimate goal of protecting the interests of OBC candidates. The delegation from Delhi was led by advocate Vaibhav Singh and engineer Mahendra Singh Lodhi, while the Gwalior delegation was spearheaded by founder Vijay Kumar, state in-charge Jeetu Lodhi, and state president Giriraj Dhakad, each presenting their respective viewpoints to the Chief Minister.
