Imphal, January 09 2022:
BJP National OBC Morcha secretary Birendra Kumar Nath has stated that those belonging to OBC category are receiving their entitled benefits in full ever since the PM Modi-led government came to power.
Speaking to newspersons at Thambal Shanglen of BJP here on Sunday, Birendra Kumar lauded the initiatives taken up by PM Modi for providing all the entitled benefits to the OBC category.
PM Modi himself belongs to the OBC community and as such, is more aware of the plight and grievances of the community, he added.
The OBC Morcha secretary recalled that in 1993, the then Congress government reduted the OBC category to a namesake institute.
In 2017, PM Modi accorded due respect and recognition to the OBC community and saw to their further development.
Presently, there are 27 OBC ministers in the union cabinet.
Furthermore, apart from providing pre and post-matric scholarship to OBC students, adequate medical seats are reserved for the category and in other sectors as well.
"Around 60 percent of the OBC community in the country are availing benefits of various welfare programmes.
Thus, the OBC community in the state can continue to avail the benefits by ensuring the continuance of the BJP government in Manipur," said Birendra Kumar Nath, who is on a two-day visit to the state.
