Congress to give 42% tickets to BCs in local body polls
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad:Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday announced that the Congress would give 42 per cent seats for Backward Classes candidates in the upcoming local body elections, and challenged the BRS and the BJP to follow the suit if they were genuinely committed to the upliftment of the community. Calling the day a "red-letter day" in history, Revanth Reddy declared that social justice had taken a giant leap forward, making its progress “irreversible and unstoppable.” He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to initiate the debate and present the official report on the comprehensive caste survey in the Telangana Assembly. Revanth Reddy criticised the BJP-led government at the Centre for not conducting a national census since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. Revanth Reddy called upon opposition MLAs, who had not participated in the caste census, to provide their details, and said that despite years of delay, the Congress government remains committed to working for marginalised communities. Stating that the last caste census was conducted in India before Independence in 1931, Revanth Reddy highlighted that historically marginalised communities have long demanded enumeration to formulate effective policies.
