Comprehensive caste survey can justify legislative and constitutional measures to increase reservations: BC leaders

The Hindu  

Former State BC Commission chairman Vakulabharanam Krishna Mohan Rao has criticised Chief Minister A.Revanth Reddy for stating that exceeding the 50% reservation cap was constitutionally impossible. He argued that a comprehensive caste survey could provide the necessary justification for legislative and constitutional measures to increase reservations. Several prominent intellectuals and BC association leaders, including Rajya Sabha MP R.Krishnaiah, former minister V.Srinivas Goud, and retired IAS officer Chiranjeevulu, also spoke. The forum accused the government of deliberately under-reporting the BC population in the caste survey and attempting to mislead BCs with manipulated data.
