Revanth Reddy tables Caste Survey 2025, KTR questions drop in BC population
The Telangana government tabled the "Caste Survey - 2024" report in the Assembly on Tuesday, marking a significant move in the state's socio-political landscape. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, presenting the survey document, emphasised that the data collection was aimed at ensuring equal opportunities in line with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's vision of "jitni abaadi utni haq.” He highlighted the historical absence of rational and comprehensive data on weaker sections in India, which has made the implementation of reservations difficult. OPPOSITION SLAMS SURVEY BRS leader KT Rama Rao questioned discrepancies in the findings, pointing out that in a previous family survey conducted by the then-BRS government, BCs accounted for 61 per cent of the population, whereas the new report indicated 47 per cent. KTR criticised the Congress government for failing to announce any concrete measures in the special Assembly session, arguing that expectations for a 42 per cent reservation bill for BCs and a BC sub-plan went unmet. BRS MLC K Kavitha also expressed doubts over the report’s accuracy, challenging Revanth Reddy to clarify whether the Congress would follow Rahul Gandhi's slogan of proportional representation or their own declaration of 42 per cent reservation for BCs.
