Congress hails MP govt decision to raise OBC reservation limit

New Delhi, June 27: Congress today hailed the Madhya
Pradesh government's decision of raising the reservation limit
for OBCs.

Party spokesman S Jaipal Reddy told reporters that the
Madhya Pradesh assembly had twice passed resolution for
raising the reservation from 14 to 27 per cent but the BJP-led
coalition at the Centre "did not pay heed to the request".

Asked whether the party favoured reservation in the
private sector, he merely said there could not be a sweeping
view at the national level.
