CPM Rallies for BC Quota, Accuses Centre of Delay
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) is pushing for the central government to pass a law that would give 42% of seats to Backward Classes in local elections.
They want this law protected by the Constitution so it can't be easily changed.
They say the current government is blocking this, possibly to divert attention.
The CPM believes this is necessary to help BCs.
If the protection isn't in place, they fear that BCs would still rely on more powerful groups.
CPM demands Centre pass a law for 42% BC reservations, protecting it under the Ninth Schedule.
CPM accuses the BJP-led government of stalling the BC Reservation Bill approved by the Telangana Assembly.
CPM claims the BJP is using the Muslim reservation issue to distract from the BC issue.
CPM warns that without constitutional protection, BCs will remain dependent on upper castes.
Leaders including Devadasu, Mekala Narasimhulu, and others participated in the protest.
