The CM further informed that a survey would be conducted by the OBC commission to identify the most backward castes in the OBC category. Following the report, the most backward castes would get more opportunities for education and service in government jobs.

The CM has said that various SC-ST castes have been continuously demanding reservation on the basis of population, the government is examining their demand too.

“In the 10% reservation of EWS category, the Rajasthan government had removed the condition of immovable property, so that this category could also be sure to get the benefit of reservation completely,” Gehlot tweeted.

State set to poll this year

The Gehlot government does not want to leave any stone unturned in order to repeat the power in the state. Rajasthan is scheduled to poll this year. Earlier, the government announced free electricity for up to 100 units and smartphones for women.
