Mamata Banerjee Calcutta High Court on OBC Reservation:
The Calcutta High Court on Wednesday (May 22) cancelled all Other Backward Class (OBC) certificates issued in West Bengal after 2010. After this, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that her government will not accept this decision of the Calcutta High Court and will challenge it in the higher court.
CM Mamata Banerjee addressed a public meeting in Hardaha of North 24 Parganas district on Wednesday. During this, she said, I do not accept this order of the Calcutta High Court. Recently the High Court had canceled about 26 thousand jobs in government schools. I did not accept that order either. She further said that I have received the order and now I will play the game.

‘Will not accept the order of Calcutta High Court
She further said, “I will not take anyone’s name. Whoever has passed it, but I will definitely say that this order is in favor of BJP. Therefore, we will not accept it. Reservation for OBC will continue. “A bench of Justic Tapabrate Chakraborty and Justice Rajasekhar Mantha passed the order on cancellation of OBC certificate.
‘We lost then, and we will lose now too’
CM Mamata linked the Calcutta High Court order to PM Modi’s recent statement in which he said that if the Congress and other allies of the opposition India Alliance come to power, they plan to reduce the quota for OBCs and give equal that PM Modi has been claiming for the past few days that minorities can snatch the OBC quota. Is this constitutionally possible? Minorities can never do this.
Apart from this, she said that the OBC quota list was prepared after conducting a survey under the chairmanship of retired IPS officer and former minister Upendra Nath Vishwas in her cabinet, but they lost. The same will happen this time too.
