Mumbai, April 11: Toeing a line different from that of his party on the women’s bill, senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde has said that there should be quota for OBC women in assemblies and the Lok Sabha and he will press his party to take this view.
Though he described this as his “personal opinion”, Munde said “I will persevere to have my party take this view.”
Addressing a gathering of OBC leaders of Maharashtra, he said, “There is a demand by the OBC community to have an OBC reservation in the Women’s Reservation Bill. I have conveyed that BJP has a different stand on this issue, but I have assured them that I will put forth this demand to my party.
