OBC status for left out communities ‘golden opportunity’ for SDF: SHRP

GANGTOK, 17 Nov: The “high level committee” of the Sikkim Himali Rajya Parisad Party convened a meeting chaired by its president, AD Subba at its headquarters today. The meeting discussed the present political scenario of the state and the political strategies that the party needs to adopt, informs a press release. 
Dr. Subba, informing about the central government’s decision to include the left out communities in the Other Backward Communities list across the country, expressed that it has given a golden opportunity for the SDF Government to show its consideration towards the left out communities. 
The SHRP president contended that these communities, included in the state OBC status, now have to be included into the national OBC list, for which the party would submit a memorandum to the state as well to the central government, he informed.
Mr. Subba also expressed that the inclusion of Newar, Chettri and Bahun communities in the national OBC list would bring about the possibility of other left out communities to be included into the Scheduled Tribe category, the release adds.
