"The representatives of 16 most backward castes of Uttar Pradesh has been invited in the meeting to be held in New Delhi with party supremo Ajit Singh", the leader said.

The previous Samajwadi Party government under Mualyam Singh Yadav had agreed to include these castes in the SC category and sent a proposal to the Centre for the same.
