The BRS will organise a public meeting of BCs, BRS Working President KT Rama Rao said. BRS supremo K. Chandrasekhar Rao will also attend the meeting.
KTR made it clear that they will organise the public meeting at the same spot in Kamareddy where the Congress announced its BC Declaration. He said the caste census report is a collection of mistakes and demanded that the Congress government conduct a re-survey. He said that KCR and his family would participate in the caste survey if it is conducted again.
KTR asked Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to apologise for reducing the population of BCs in the caste survey report. The Congress deceived people during the 2023 Assembly election campaign and also after coming to power, he said. KTR warned that the BRS will not let go the Congress till it delivers justice to BCs and that the BRS will take the injustice meted out to BCs to the people.
Addressing the media after meeting BC leaders on Sunday, KTR said the Congress deceived the BCs by showing
the population of BCs five and a half per cent less. He said the Revanth Reddy government had set aside the 42 per cent reservation for BCs issue. He said the BRS will lodge its protest in the Assembly as well as in the Council regarding this.
“The caste census report is a collection of mistakes. It is nothing but wasting paper. The Congress cut the throats of weaker sections using this survey. No BC group will accept it. The BRS argued in the Assembly and Council through Talasani Srinivas Yadav and Madhusudhana Chary. The government should conduct a survey scientifically. The BCs and MBCs fear that they may lose their share in government welfare schemes, ration cards, Indiramma houses and six guarantees,” he said.
He recalled that the Congress had assured people through its BC Declaration at the Kamareddy public meeting that it would provide 42 per cent reservations in local body elections. The Congress also made Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah say that it will provide a budget of Rs 1 lakh crore for BCs, he said.
The Congress also assured that it will provide a 42 per cent quota for BCs in government contracts. However, the government did not give even 15 paise to BCs although a year has passed after the BC Declaration
