Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Criticizes Centre Over BC Quota Bills
The Chief Minister of Telangana, Revanth Reddy, is upset with the central government (led by BJP) because they are not approving laws about giving more opportunities to people from Backward Classes (BCs).
He went to Delhi to talk to the central government about it.
He said the central government is being unfair because they are okay with Muslim reservations in some states but not in Telangana, where reservations are based on caste, not religion.
The state government has also done a survey to find out how many people are in each caste to help with the reservations.
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy criticized the BJP-led Central government for delaying approval of BC quota Bills.
A delegation led by Revanth Reddy went to Delhi to pressure the Centre on the BC quota Bills.
Revanth Reddy accused the BJP of having dual standards by opposing BC reservations while supporting Muslim quotas in BJP-ruled states.
The Telangana government clarified that reservations for Muslims fall under the BC-E category based on caste.
The Telangana government aims to hold local body elections with 42% BC reservation and has conducted a caste census.
