The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has demanded that the Telangana government conduct local body elections only after ensuring 42% reservations for Backward Classes (BCs) through proper legal and constitutional measures. Senior BRS leader Talasani Srinivas Yadav made it clear that the party would not accept elections based on political party allocations instead of legally mandated reservations.
He warned that if Chief Minister Revanth Reddy continues to act unilaterally, the BRS will intensify its agitation. Talasani announced that BRS leaders and cadre will march from Telangana Bhavan tomorrow to participate in the statewide BC Bandh, expressing solidarity with backward communities.
The BRS maintains that conducting polls without restoring the 42% quota would be a betrayal of social justice, urging the government to uphold constitutional equality before proceeding.
