Andhra Pradesh Cabinet Finalises BC Quotas for Local Bodies
The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet decided how many local government seats should be reserved for Backward Classes.
It based the decision on a commission's report.
The reservations cover positions in village, mandal, district, and city local bodies.
The articles report the same percentages for most positions.
However, they give different percentages for municipal chairpersons and mayors.
One article says municipal chairpersons get 33.02% and mayors 35.29%.
The other says those figures are 32.03% and 35.02%.
The articles do not say when the Cabinet meeting took place.
The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet approved Backward Classes reservations for local-body positions based on the Rajiv Ranjan Mishra Commission report.
Reported quotas include 26.73% for panchayat ward members and 27.95% for sarpanches.
The articles give 25.55% for MPTC members, 24.60% for MPPs or Mandal Parishad presidents, and 24.60% for ZPTC members.
Both reports state quotas of 23.08% for Zilla Parishad chairpersons and 32.78% for urban ward members.
The reports differ on municipal chairperson and mayor quotas: one gives 33.02% and 35.29%, while the other gives 32.03% and 35.02%.
