Telangana Jagruthi Prez Kavitha urges AICC chief to pressurise Centre on 42 per cent BC reservation

Hyderabad, July 3 (UNI) Telangana Jagruthi president and BRS MLC K Kavitha today urged AICC President Mallikarjuna Kharge to pressurise the Union government to approve 42 per cent reservation for Backward Classes (BCs) in education, employment and local bodies.
Kavitha, who met BC leader and Rajya Sabha MP R Krishnaiah earlier, said that the Congress government could issue an order to implement the 42 percent reservations for BCs.
Although a bill was passed in the assembly, the central government needs to approve it, she said and demanded that the state government conduct elections to local bodies with 42 per cent BC reservations.
Krishnaiah assured Kavitha of his support for the Jagruti Rail Roko on July 17.
Kavitha, the daughter of BRS chief and former CM K.Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) had earlier also urged the newly appointed BJP Telangana president N Ramchander Rao, asking him to take up the issue as a priority.
Talking to reporters after releasing posters for Telangana Jagruthi’s proposed rail roko on July 17, Kavitha said that Kharge’s Telangana visit was incomplete without addressing the long-pending BC reservation issue.
She claimed that neither Kharge nor Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, or Priyanka Gandhi had ever raised the issue of BC rights in Parliament.
She also demanded that the state should immediately release the caste census data collected at the gram panchayat level, instead of conducting local body elections based on outdated data.

Telangana Jagruthi, in collaboration with the United Phule Front, will intensify its agitation in the coming days, she added. UNI KNR SSP
