Why An Affidavit For OBC Quota Has Landed MP Govt In Anti-Hindu Controversy
Why An Affidavit For OBC Quota Has Landed Mohan Yadav-Led Madhya Pradesh BJP Govt In Anti-Hindu Controversy
The BJP-led Madhya Pradesh government has submitted an affidavit in the Supreme Court defending its 2024 decision to raise OBC reservation in jobs and education from 14% to 27%. However, the same landed in controversy for alleged anti-Hindu statements.
The Madhya Pradesh BJP government is at the receiving end - not from opposition but from its own supporters. Recently, the Madhya Pradesh government submitted an affidavit in the Supreme Court with regards to the OBC reservation. While it should have been a routine process, what caught the eye of BJP followers was the anti-Hindu statements made in the document. They were quick to flag it on social media, forcing the Mohan Yadav government to issue a clarification.
The BJP-led Madhya Pradesh government has submitted an affidavit in the Supreme Court defending its 2024 decision to raise OBC reservation in jobs and education from 14% to 27%. To provide historical context, the state annexed the 1983 Mahajan Commission Report. Soon after, excerpts from the report surfaced on social media, drawing sharp criticism for allegedly portraying Hindu traditions in a negative light. Critics accused the government of endorsing “anti-Hindu” content and demanded the withdrawal of the affidavit.

The circulated passages question the killing of Rishi Shambhuk by Lord Ram, allege that Eklavya was denied archery training because of his Bhil identity, and argue that the Varna system deprived 80% of Bahujan Shudras of rights for centuries. Many posts also claimed the affidavit misquoted Hindu scriptures, triggering anger among sections of society.

On October 1, 2025, state officials clarified that the controversial excerpts are not part of the government's affidavit or policy. They stressed that the passages belong to the Congress-era Mahajan Commission report and not to the current administration's submissions. The government further stated that the reservation policy is based on recent data, not on the 1983 report. Authorities have also warned of action under the IT Act against those spreading misinformation online.
The BJP Madhya Pradesh said on X, "It has come to the notice of the State Government that certain mischievous elements are circulating comments/content on social media, claiming that these comments are part of the affidavit submitted by the Madhya Pradesh Government in the case related to OBC reservation before the Honorable Supreme Court."

Therefore, it is automatically a part of the judicial record in the Honorable Supreme Court as well," it further added.
Rejecting the allegations of endorsing the anti-Hindu remarks mentioned in the Mahajan Committee report, the BJP said, "The Madhya Pradesh Government is fully committed to ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' (Together with all, Development for all) and social harmony."
