Reaffirms govt's commitment to social justice & welfare of people
CHIEF Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday asked the Centre to approve Telangana's landmark bills providing 42% reservation for Backward Classes (BCs) in local bodies, education, and employment. He made the appeal after hoisting the national flag at the state's 79th Independence Day celebrations held at Golkonda Fort.
Citing figures from the extensive socio-economic survey done covering 1.12 crore families, the Chief Minister said the findings revealed that BCs constitute 56.33% of the state's population. "Based on this data, our government has introduced 42% reservation for BCs. The bills passed by the state legislature have been sent to the Centre for approval. On this historic occasion, I urge the central government to clear the bills," he said.
