Hyderabad: The BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) party has urged the BC (Backward Classes) Commission to resist any pressure from the State government and avoid rushing through its work. Instead, they want the commission to carry out a thorough, scientific, and detailed survey.
On Tuesday, BRS leaders, including S Madhusudhana Chary and V Srinivas Goud, met with members of the BC Commission, which is currently conducting a survey across the State. They advised the commission to focus on long-term benefits for the Backward Classes rather than temporary political gains. They emphasized the need for the study to help increase reservations for BCs.
The party further requested that the commission offer reservations to Most Backward Classes (MBCs) and migratory communities that have been left behind in areas like education, employment, and political representation, based on their population size.
BRS leaders also stressed the importance of creating a report that is comprehensive and free from legal complications. They said the survey should accurately reflect the socio-economic and political conditions of BCs in the State.
They criticized the delay in appointing the dedicated commission, which they claim has led to a postponement of local body elections. While they welcomed the commission’s formation after an 11-month delay, they urged its members not to cave in to government pressure and to produce a transparent and honest report.
The leaders also expressed concern about the State government setting a 30-day deadline for the survey. They believe this could compromise the quality and thoroughness of the study.
Goud highlighted that the BRS party aims to ensure that BCs receive their fair share in social, economic, and political areas. He pointed out that during its 10-year rule, the BRS government has implemented several significant measures to uplift BCs.
The KCR-led government has taken various steps to support BCs, including the introduction of BC reservations in market committees, a move that has not been seen in any other State.
