Minister Surekha calls to counter conspiracies against BC Caste Census

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The Congress government in Telangana was committed to ensuring complete justice for the backward and weaker sections, which constitute 56 per cent of the State’s population, said Forest, Environment, and Endowments Minister Konda Surekha. Speaking at a press conference held at Gandhi Bhavan, which was attended by PCC Chief Bomma Mahesh Kumar Goud, Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar and Konda Surekha, Government Whip Beerla Ilaiah, Vemulawada MLA Aadi Srinivas and others, Surekha emphasized that while the BC population has been increasing for decades, they have not received proper social justice. She criticized the previous BRS government for neglecting the welfare of BCs and asserted that the current government, under Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, has taken up the BC caste census to address this long-standing issue. Surekha, representing two BC communities, declared that the caste census was a historic step and called upon BCs to resist any attempts to derail its implementation.
