Asking the National Commission to take immediate action in this regard, he pointed out that though there was 27 percent reservation for OBCs during the last 30 years, for varied reasons the posts under various categories could not be filled up resulting in large vacancies. This necessitates filling up of the vacancies through backlog method to do justice to these OBC sections. The National BC Commission has to play a key role in this, he said.
