Hyderabad: MLC K. Kavitha announced that Telangana Jagruthi fully supports the satyagraha launched by BC Welfare Association National President R. Krishnaiah. The protest demands 42% reservations for Backward Classes (BCs) in upcoming local body elections.
Kavitha released a statement on social media, accusing the state government of lacking sincerity on the issue. She said the government passed bills in the Assembly and Council but failed to ensure their implementation. “The state has not made use of constitutional or political opportunities to achieve 42% reservations,” she remarked.
The MLC criticized the leadership for avoiding concrete steps. She pointed out that no all-party delegation was taken to the Prime Minister. She added that the government did not even request an appointment, meet the Governor for an ordinance, or fight legally when the Centre stalled BC bills.
Kavitha warned of consequences if elections are conducted without granting 42% BC reservations. She said the BC community is ready to teach both the state government and the Congress party a “fitting lesson” in the polls.
