Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy urged the backward classes to recognize the importance of the caste census conducted by the Congressional government and take ownership of it. He said the state government granted legal status to caste census data by obtaining approval from the Cabinet and Legislative Assembly.
“We have passed two bills at the conference to increase BC bookings to 42% for education, employment and local institutions.
Leaders of the BC community met with Revanth Reddy at the parliamentary venue on Tuesday to express their gratitude for the creation of two laws that provide a 42% quota for backward communities in education, employment and political representation.
Revanth Reddy urged all British Columbian communities to thank Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for reminding them that this was his vision during Bharat Jodo Yatra to conduct a caste census in a state ruled by Congress.
He reiterated that the Congressional administration respects its commitment by completing a caste survey, which is crucial to increasing bookings to a 50% limit.
Revanth Reddy stressed the importance of February 4 and announced the “Social Justice Day” in Parliament. He mentioned that the government had established a Cabinet Subcommittee and a dedicated British Columbia Commission to ensure that the caste investigation was completed within a fixed time frame. In addition, a second opportunity is provided for those who missed the first phase of the survey.
To ensure transparency during the caste investigation process, he confirmed that the policy document has been carefully drafted to ensure accuracy. “Our goal is to make the country a role model for the entire country. The caste survey conducted by the people-centered government will be a historic milestone,” he said.
“If BC misunderstood their rights,” he said. “Not only did the government prepare a caste census document, but also created a law to ensure retention. Two separate bills were passed in the Legislative Assembly to provide political retention and aspects in education and work.”
Revanth Reddy noted that the Mandal Commission estimated that the BCS accounted for 52% of the population, while a recent caste survey conducted in Telangana reported that the BCS accounted for 56.36% of the population. He added that local agency elections have been postponed to determine the correct BC population.
He compared the caste census to sacred texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible and the Quran, noting that it laid a strong foundation for empowerment.
“The implementation of the caste census will come first, followed by necessary amendments. I call on the British Columbia community to avoid falling into the trap of people under the guise of caste politics,” he said.
Revanth Reddy urges BC community leaders to ensure their rights and promise unwavering support in the fight for justice and representation.
