Triple test for OBC lacks transparency: Ajsu-P
Ranchi: Ajsu-P leaders on Sunday alleged widespread irregularities in holding triple tests to determine reservation for other backward castes (OBC) in urban local bodies elections in the state.
Ajsu-P leader Praveen Prabhakar said that they were receiving complaints from different parts of the state that door-to-door survey was not carried out.
"The state govt should provide information regarding the entire process, including the agency engaged, its expertise and modus operandi before publishing the triple test report," he added.
According to the Supreme Court (SC) order, the triple test survey is needed for OBC reservation in local body elections.
Their population, social and economic conditions and political representation are assessed in the exercise, he added.
The post of the OBC commission was vacant for a year. Janki Yadav was appointed to the post earlier this month. Chairman's post of chief election commission, which conducts the polls, is also vacant, he added.
Another Ajsu-P leader Sanjay Mehta said the Jharkhand high court had asked the state govt to start the election process within three weeks about one and a half years ago.

Congress leader Rajiv Ranjan claimed that NDA parties were relying on tokenism as far as OBCs were concerned. BJP govt reduced their quota from 27 to 14 per cent. They are raising allegations because their supported candidates would lose in urban local bodies poll.
