The Calcutta High Court has invalidated approximately 5 lakh Other Backward Class (OBC) certificates issued in West Bengal since 2010, sparking a heated political debate. The court's decision has been criticized by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who vowed to challenge the ruling in the Supreme Court, asserting her commitment to providing OBC reservations to Muslims. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have welcomed the decision, accusing the Trinamool Congress (TMC) of engaging in appeasement politics. The ruling has been described as a 'tight slap' to the opposition INDIA bloc, with BJP leaders emphasizing that the Indian Constitution does not permit reservations based on religion. The court stated that a fresh OBC list should be made following the Backward Class Act 1993. TMC leaders have labeled the order as 'illegal' and accused the BJP of 'vote bank politics.' The controversy has intensified the political rivalry between the BJP and TMC, with both parties engaging in a war of words over the implications of the court's decision.
