The OBC Mahasang Goa President Madu Naik along with spokesperson Nonu Naik, Dr. Namdev Fatarpeikar, Pramanand Shetkar, Prasad Chodankar, and Rudra Naik, addressing media, reminded the government about the vacant post of OBC Commissioner.
He said the OBC population with 19 communities is more than fifty percent and despite this majority, the community is deprived of government schemes and struggling for their demands.
