BC Roundtable Calls for Caste Census, More Representation
Imagine a meeting where different groups of people from a specific community came together to talk about getting a fair share in society.
They want the government to count how many people are in each community, which is called a caste census.
They believe this will help them get more opportunities, like jobs and seats in government.
They're also planning to organize events and meetings to make sure their voices are heard by the leaders.
They believe that working together is the best way to make a change and get what they deserve.
BC associations and political parties met in Vijayawada.
They demanded a comprehensive caste enumeration in the upcoming census.
The meeting called for allotting BCs seats in local bodies based on population.
They plan a united movement and action committees to pressure the government.
Leaders cited the need for fair representation for BCs and small castes.
