Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy Demands Approval of Reservation Bills in Hyderabad’s Merger Event
In the heart of Hyderabad, Telangana’s capital city, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday demanded the approval of two bills passed by the state legislature. The bills seek to provide 42% reservation for Backward Communities (BCs) in education and local body polls.
The demand was made during the celebration of Hyderabad’s merger with the Indian Union, an event commemorated as “Praja Palana Dinostavam.” Speaking on the occasion, Reddy stated that by extending these reservations, approximately 23,973 BCs would gain political representation.
The demand is part of a sustained effort to increase representation for marginalized communities in the state’s political landscape.
The move, if approved by the Centre, would significantly expand the scope of political participation for these communities and is seen as an important step towards social justice and equality.
This development comes amidst ongoing discussions about equitable representation in politics across India. The issue remains a contentious one, with various regions advocating for different percentages of reservation based on their specific demographic needs.
It is worth noting that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a major national political party, has not issued any official statement regarding this demand as of yet. The party’s stance on the matter remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, reactions from the opposition parties and civil society groups are eagerly awaited as this issue unfolds in the coming days. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
