Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], January 3 (ANI): After BRS leader K Kavitha held a protest over the rights of Backward Classes in Telangana, State Minister Ponnam Prabhakar congratulated Kavitha for her agitation but pointed out that her party failed to prioritize BC issues during their time in office, now only raising them after losing power.
Speaking to ANI, Prabhakar said, “Kavitha Ji held a protest at Indira Park for the rights of the backward classes, and I appreciate her effort. However, it’s worth noting that despite being in power for so many years, they never remembered the backward classes. You never appointed a Deputy Chief Minister from the backward classes, yet when elections come around, you invoke their name. This isn’t right. If you truly wish to advocate for the rights of backward classes, start by giving them their due rights within your own party.”
Earlier today, Telangana Jagruthi along with Backward Class Communities held ‘BC Maha Sabha’ at Indira Park, Hyderabad demanding the implementation of the Kamareddy BC declaration and 42 per cent reservation for BC communities in local bodies.
Speaking on the protest, K Kavitha said that their fight will continue until both these demands are met.
“We are demanding that the central government immediately conduct the caste census as a part of the general census to be held in 2025. The state Congress government should implement 42 per cent reservation for OBC communities in local bodies. These two demands are our primary demands today and thousands of people from backward classes from across the state have gathered here and our fight will continue until both these demands are met,” she said.
On Thursday, BRS Working President K T Rama Rao (KTR) called upon party cadres to intensify their fight against the Congress government in Telangana, accusing it of misgovernance and corruption.
In a New Year message, KTR lauded the year-long efforts of party workers in exposing the failures of the Congress regime and pledged to continue the struggle until justice for the people is achieved.
“The Congress regime’s policies are rooted in deception. Despite wrongful cases and oppression, you have stood firm. Your resolve is historic and extraordinary,” KTR remarked. (ANI)
