Hyderabad 22 November (Patriotic Views) Increase Reservations for BCs in Local Bodies to Prove Sincerity: Kavitha Urges Congress Government

Hyderabad: Telangana Jagruthi has announced its decision to submit a detailed report to the BC Dedicated Commission established by the state government. The report focuses on the caste survey and the need for enhanced reservations for Backward Classes (BCs) in local body elections.

Telangana Jagruthi President and BRS Party MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha, along with Telangana Jagruthi leaders, will soon present the report to the Commission Chairman, Busani Venkateswara Rao.

In preparation for this submission, MLC Kavitha convened a meeting with Telangana Jagruthi leaders and key activists at her residence on Friday.

It is noteworthy that Telangana Jagruthi previously organized round-table meetings across all districts to gather inputs on the caste census and the need to increase reservations for BCs in local bodies. These discussions involved leaders from BC associations, intellectuals, journalists, and other prominent figures, who shared their perspectives. Based on these consultations, Telangana Jagruthi compiled a comprehensive, district-wise report, incorporating the opinions of BC leaders, academicians, intellectuals, and other experts.

Speaking at the meeting, MLC Kavitha emphasized that weaker sections of society, particularly BCs, continue to face inadequate representation in education and employment sectors. She urged governments to bridge these gaps and bring the marginalized to the forefront.

She further asserted that political representation for BCs must be strengthened. Former MP K. Kavitha called on the Congress-led state government to conduct a systematic caste survey and increase reservations in local bodies as a testament to its sincerity in addressing the concerns of BC communities.
