BJP OBC Morcha vows fight against Congress' 'anti-BC' policies
A group called the BJP OBC Morcha held a big meeting in Hyderabad.
The group works for people from the Backward Classes, also called BCs.
The leaders said the Congress party is not helping BC people.
They said Congress only pretends to care about them.
The leaders said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has done more for BC people.
They said a special commission for BC people was made stronger under Modi.
The leaders also said Congress gave some special benefits to Muslims, which they think took away from BC people.
They asked BC people to come together and protect their rights.
They want people to learn about government programs that can help them.
The BJP OBC Morcha State Executive meeting in Hyderabad resolved to fight the Congress-led Telangana government's alleged anti-BC policies.
State BJP chief N Ramachander Rao and OBC Morcha National President K Laxman accused Congress of shedding 'crocodile tears' for OBCs.
K Laxman said the National Commission for Backward Classes was granted constitutional status under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
Rao alleged that the 5% reservation for Muslims introduced under former CM Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy affected the rightful share of genuine BC communities.
Rao claimed no Congress-ruled state currently has a BC Chief Minister and urged BCs to unite to protect their reservation share.
