50% Maha pop will benefit from the OBC quota: Deshmukh

Public Works Minister Chhagan Bhujbal, who is among the most powerful OBC leaders in Maharashtra, also welcomed the Court ruling. “Almost 54 per cent students in the country, who are OBCs, will benefit from the decision,” Bhujbal, who is president of the All-India Mahatma Phule Samata Parishad, said.

The Parishad had been demanding implementation of the 27 per cent quota for OBCs and also implementation of the Mandal Commission all over the country, Bhujbal said.
