Created with AIPRM Prompt “Human-like Rewriter – V1.6”
Amidst a recent public gathering, Congress Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi presented a query challenging the OBC (other backward classes) designation of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Shedding light on this matter in an elucidation, the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) indicated that the Modh Ghanchi caste holds the 91(a) slot in the Mandal List, and the Gujarat Government issued a notification for its inclusion in the State List of OBC on July 25, 1994.
Expanding on the issue, the National Commission for Backward Classes conveyed that it proffered counsel to the Union Government on November 15, 1997, advocating for the inclusion of the Modh-Ghanchi caste in the Central List of OBCs for the State of Gujarat. A Gazette Notification reflecting this recommendation was subsequently released on October 27, 1999. As delineated by the National Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1993, the guidance provided by the NCBC for the incorporation of any caste or community in the Central List of OBCs typically held sway over the Union Government, as articulated in the NCBC statement.
The NCBC further clarified, “There exist 104 castes/communities in the Central List of OBCs for the State of Gujarat, encompassing the Modh Ghanchi caste. It merits attention that at the time of both decisions, involving the inclusion of the Modh Ghanchi caste in the State List of OBCs and the Central List of OBCs, Shri Narendra Modi did not occupy any legislative or executive role.”
