Raipur. Before the municipal elections, the OBC reservation issue has heated up the politics of the state afresh. Now a war has broken out on social media between BJP and Congress. Both are blaming each other by issuing posts on social media.
Social media war between Congress and BJP
Chhattisgarh Congress earlier released a post in which it was told that in the year 2019, there was OBC reservation in 7 out of 27 district panchayats, whereas in the year 2025, reservation for Other Backward Classes was not given in any of the 33 district panchayats. Said that BJP is conspiring to suppress the backward classes.
BJP’s counterattack
Bharatiya Janata Party hit back and said that Congress is making political bread by misleading the people. BJP said that Chhattisgarh Congress, which is pretending to be OBC friendly, should look into its own affairs and see how many OBC leaders in its own Congress party had been given tickets and how many MLAs had been made ministers in the cabinet? In compliance with the order of the Supreme Court, the State Government constituted Chhattisgarh State Backward Classes Welfare Commission as per the order of the Supreme Court on 16/07/2024 and the Commission submitted the detailed report to the State Government on 24/10/2024 and the State Government fully After consideration, it has been approved on 28/10/2024. Congress wants to earn its political fortune by misleading the public in the constitutionally conducted election process.
