Telangana CM Revanth faces challenges on caste survey implementation

Hindustan Times  

The Telangana government, headed by chief minister A Revanth Reddy, and which has just completed the comprehensive socio-economic, educational, employment, political, and caste survey in the state assembly on February 4, is now facing the biggest challenge of implementing the same. But prominent OBC leaders, including Rajya Sabha MP and national OBC welfare association president R Krishnaiah and former Telangana OBC commission chairman Vakulabharanam Krishna Mohan Rao demanded that the Congress government should implement 42% reservations for OBCs in the upcoming local body elections. “We shall launch large-scale agitations if the Revanth Reddy government fails to implement a 42% quota for OBCs in local body elections,” Krishna Mohan said. Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader and MLC K Kavitha went a step ahead and demanded that the government should implement 46.25% quota for OBCs in the local body elections as per the caste survey. Revanth Reddy, however, said the Congress, as a party, will extend reservations to the OBCs in the issuance of party tickets in local body elections as per the survey findings.
