Hyderabad: Telangana is preparing for local body elections as the Dedicated Commission has submitted a report on BC (Backward Classes) quota in local bodies.
On Monday, the Chairman of the Dedicated Commission, B Venkateshwara Rao, handed over the report to Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari at the Secretariat. This report will now be sent to the BC Welfare Department, which will finalize the BC quota before the election notification is issued.
To prepare the report, the Commission visited different parts of the state and gathered opinions from the BC community regarding reservations in local bodies. It also considered data from a recent caste survey.
According to sources, the Commission has suggested that the BC quota should be implemented based on each assembly constituency as a unit. However, the final decision on the quota will be made by the BC Welfare Department soon.
