Kolkata, April 16 The Confederation of Other Backward Classes (OBC), SC, ST and Minorities of West Bengal has asked Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to implement the 27 per cent reservation for OBC students in education and service sectors in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling.

In a letter addressed to Bhattacharjee, Karthik Chandra Kapas, general secretary of the organisation, stated that the state should implement the OBC quota in all higher educational institutions, especially in engineering, management and medical studies.

Apart from this, he has put forth the demand to increase the reservation in government services from the present 50 per cent to the proportion of the OBCs, SC, ST and minorities population in the state.

In the letter Kapas has demanded proportionate reservation for minorities in the Parliament and Assembly as well as in the appointment of council of ministers, Governors, ambassadors and members of commissions and boards.

The organisation has also demanded constitutional status for the National and State Backward Class Commission.
