NAGPUR: Thousands are expected to flood Nagpur's streets at Friday's OBC rally as protesters from across Vidarbha mobilise against Maharashtra's September 2 government resolution (GR), which activists said undermines constitutional rights and weakens their share in reservations, report Vaibhav Ganjapure & Piyush Patil.
The rally, billed as a " yellow storm " of solidarity , is likely to be attended by over 50,000 participants, organisers said, adding no politician will share the dais. Sakal OBC Samaj - an umbrella organisation of OBCs - decided to go ahead despite an appeal from minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule to cancel the event due to farmers' distress.
Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar , an OBC, said the community would not relent until the GR is withdrawn.
