Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole has said the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the state must appeal in the Supreme Court for directions to the Centre to provide census data of Other Backward Classes (OBC).

He was addressing a press conference against the backdrop of the apex court on Saturday (September 11) saying the state government cannot postpone local bodies polls over OBC reservations, as this power was only with the Election Commission.
