Raje mentioned that the Jats of those two districts were not in the OBC central list and hence they were not getting advantage of OBC reservation for Central government jobs and requested him to cover them under the OBC central list, the release said.

She also mentioned that the Jat community were included in OBC since 2000 and they were getting reservation benefits in the state.
