BJP National OBC morcha to honour Union ministers

Ministers from SC, ST and BC communities to be introduced to people, says morcha president Laxman

The National OBC Morcha of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to honour and give public reception to the newly inducted 27-odd Central Cabinet ministers hailing from the backward classes, first in Delhi and later in their respective State capitals later this month, informed president K. Laxman on Friday. The Central Cabinet now consisted of 70% of ministers from SC/ST and BC communities drawn from varied geographical spread from across the country which has never happened before. “The Opposition did not let Prime Minister Modi to introduce ministers from the weaker sections to Parliament, so we have decided to introduce them to the people,” he said, at a press conference. The National BC Morcha unit has also decided to take up a countrywide awareness campaign about the new opportunities provided to the BCs and other weaker sections through the decisive actions by the Modi government. The “historic decision” of providing quota to BCs and to the economically weaker sections to the undergraduate and post-graduation courses in the medical and dental fields would directly benefit about 5,500 students, said the senior leader.
