Sunil Prajapati highlighted the welfare steps taken by the Modi Govt for OBCs in J&K.  Reservation to OBCs has been granted for the first time in J&K as per Constitutional provisions after abrogation of Article 370 and provided 8% Reservation while the Previous National Conference (NC) Govts have provided mere 2% reservation under Social Caste (OSC) Category. In the Poonch Assembly Constituency around 40 to 45 thousand voters belong to the OBC community.

Sunil Prajapati expressed with concern that Congress and NC Govt have  denied Constitutional right of Reservation to OBC category.  Thus an irreplaceable loss has been sufferred by the OBCs during last 70 years while NC and Congressed ruled the State. BJP Govt at Centre has granted the reservation to OBCs in Jobs as per Constitutional provisions scraping illegal and Unconstitutional reserve categories Social Caste (OSC) category, where under mere 2 % reservation was provided and the reservation to OBC has been enhanced to 8%. BJP Govt has also provided the reservation in Panchayates and Municipality elections. Now large number of representatives will be elected in Panchayats and Municipalities including DDC members. 

BJP is only party which has considered the demands of the OBCs, while NC and Congress have denied the rights of OBCs for three decades.   Prajapati appealed to the whole OBC community of  thanna Mandi Constituency to vote for BJP in the Assembly election so that BJP secceed in forming the Govt and the left over demands of OBCs are also fulfulled by the BJP on comeing into power in the State Assembly. 

Prajapati also expressed that the BJP will emerge as the largest party after election and  will be going to form the Govt at its own and if needed with support of like minded parties. The policies and welfare measures adopted by the Modi Govt will continue and OBC people will be benefitted under BJP Govt.
