With the state elections slated for next year, the West Bengal government announced enhancement of reservation for other backward classes (OBC) by 10 per cent, raising the quota to 17 per cent in the state.
"We have taken this decision from the viewpoint of our social obligations and not with an eye on the coming elections," Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said when asked if the decision was guided by any political purpose.
Necessary law in this regard has been amended and the decision would be implemented with immediate effect, he said.
"During all these years, we have identified the new 10 per cent OBCs and completed the process of officially recognising them," the chief minister added.
"From Monday, certificates will be distributed among the new OBCs," he added
