Telangana Jagruthi leader and BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha has urged Union Minister Ramdas Athawale to help secure approval for bills that offer 42% reservation for BCs in Telangana.
Athawale visited Hyderabad on Friday and met with Kavitha. They discussed efforts by Telangana Jagruthi to support the BC community and the pending reservation bills. A petition to the President was also submitted.
Kavitha emphasized the importance of community roles in society’s progress. She highlighted the lack of representation for some groups in local governance and stressed the ongoing struggle of OBCs for equal opportunities, particularly in Telangana. Telangana Jagruthi advocates for 42% reservation in education, employment, and local bodies, organizing state-wide movements and meetings to support this cause. The Telangana government has already passed related bills and sent them for the President’s approval.
Kavitha pointed out to the Union Minister that despite the passage of time, the bills have yet to be approved. She called upon him to assist in securing the President’s approval for the reservation bills in Telangana.
