Detailed Solution

The reservation system was then expanded to include more disadvantaged groups at the district and local levels. Members of various Backward Classes are being given seats in rural and urban local governments in many states (OBCs). Each state, however, has a varying percentage of reserved seats. Similarly, female candidates are only permitted to run for one-third of the seats in both urban and rural local governments. The SC and ST seats do not lower a social group's legal share because the number of seats reserved is proportional to their fraction of the total population.
