Rajasthan Panchayat Elections: OBC Reservation Delays Polls, Two-Child Norm May End

• Panchayat Raj and urban local body elections in Rajasthan are likely to be postponed due to issues with OBC reservation.
• The commission formed to address OBC reservation is facing difficulties in submitting its report due to incomplete information from the Panchayat Raj and Urban Development Departments.
• Detailed information regarding wards and reserved wards for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has not yet been provided to the OBC commission.
• The Rajasthan government is preparing to amend Panchayat Raj and Municipal laws to remove the two-child norm for elections during the ongoing budget session.

Why It Matters: OBC reservation issues and incomplete data are delaying Rajasthan's local elections; two-child norm removal is also planned.
