Senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Monday criticised the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Maharashtra and asked why 15 per cent of the seats meant for OBC community in government jobs in the state were lying vacant.

Wadettiwar's remarks came on the day BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule kickstarted the OBC Jaagar (awareness) rally from Wardha district in the state.
