KTR Demands Resurvey of Castes

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao said that the caste survey taken up by the Congress government had failed contrary to the Kamareddy Declaration promises. Addressing the media after a meeting with the party’s BC leaders, he said, “Justice can be done to BCs if Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi want it. “The BCs and MBCs fear that their share in government schemes, ration cards and housing allotment, among others, would fall, while the Revanth Reddy government is blaming us for their follies,” he said while reminding that the Congress had promised to allocate `one lakh crore for BCs in its Kamareddy declaration. If the government seeks to go for local body elections without earmarking 42 per cent quota for BCs, then we will come up with a major protest programme.
