Congress forms backward classes commission in Telangana

Hyderabad: Fearing that it might lose out to the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s outreach to the backward classes community through government programmes, the Congress has launched its own BC commission to look into their issues. “It is a reality that the backward classes are significant in number and their issues are also important,” said a senior Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee leader, who did not want to be named. The Congress commission will also identify leaders among BC communities right from the mandal to district levels in the state and its members will tour the state and will give the TPCC office-bearers fortnightly reports and a final report in May, once its tenure ends on 30 April. Under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, it appears to be devising a formula to win back the trust of various sections in Telangana,” said political analyst Palwai Raghavendra Reddy.
