Who could have picked those terms? OBC is a term of art used in Indian politics [1]. The author didn't exactly choose that term.
And OBC is Indian English, which is one of the most common varieties of English spoken worldwide. I think it's really weird when people say "carpetbagger" in American politics, definitely more weird than OBC. And don't get me started on the racist origins of "grandfathered in" or "eenie meenie miney moe".
