The Supreme Court on Saturday said the state government cannot postpone polls over reservation for OBCs in local governing bodies. The apex court said only the Election Commission has the authority to postpone the polls. Earlier, in a rare show of solidarity, both the ruling and opposition parties in Maharashtra were in consonance on the subject of 27% political reservation for OBCs in local bodies, recently scrapped by the SC.
