The Maharashtra BJP's OBC cell on Wednesday asked the Shiv Sena-led MVA government to make public how much data on other backward classes has been collected so far and claimed the Shivraj Singh Chouhan administration in Madhya Pradesh has already put together empirical figures to provide political reservation to the social group in local bodies.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government is delaying the OBC data collection exercise (to establish the extent of backwardness) and denying other backward classes reservation in local governing bodies in the state, it said.
