The Calcutta High Court has stayed the new OBC reservation list presented by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government on Wednesday (June 18, 2025). BJP leaders welcomed this decision and distributed sweets in the assembly. At the same time, CPI (M) has also surrounded the Mamta government on this matter.
Leader of Opposition in the Bengal Legislative Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday posted on X and said that I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court for my historic decision to stop the inclusion of 76 Muslim classes in the new OBC list prepared by the Mamata Banerjee government. This is a wonderful victory of the judiciary against an arrogant state government.
‘Mamta government sidelined qualified Hindu and other non-Muslim communities’
He said that the politics of tremendous appeasement of TMC government, about 90 percent of the Muslim communities in the updated new OBC list is clear. Before TMC came to power in 2010, only 20 percent of the OBC communities were Muslims. Under the rule of Mamta Banerjee, this number has touched the sky, bypassing qualified Hindus and other non-Muslim communities.
CPI (M) leader also targeted Sujan Chakraborty
CPI (M) Central Committee member Sujan Chakraborty also targeted the Mamta government in a press conference. He said that the state government is continuously misleading people on OBC reservation. The High Court had earlier canceled the OBC list. Instead of rectifying the process, the government has repeated the same mistakes. This is nothing but trying to mislead the people of Bengal.
TMC leader told BJP anti -OBC party
After this decision of the High Court, BJP leaders distributed sweets in the assembly. Regarding this, TMC leader Kunal Ghosh said that BJP is an anti -OBC party. Here the conspiracy of opposition leaders should be seen. We trust the judiciary, but we should also pay attention to who were the people behind it. We have seen that people who made big statements on recruitment in this High Court separated to become BJP MPs. Now they want to harm OBCs and create disturbance.
A few days after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has placed a revised list before the Assembly, this order of the High Court has come. A division bench of Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty and Rajasekhar Mantha has ordered the government not to take any action on the basis of the list till 31 July. The government has been asked not to implement it till the next hearing.
Earlier this month, the West Bengal government had issued a notification expanding the OBC list to include 76 additional sub-castes, causing the total number of communities to 140. There are 80 Muslim communities, while 60 are non -Muslims.
