TRS govt warned not to tinker with BC quota
Various BC bodies suspect a move to cut BC reservations from 34% to 26%
Vidyanagar: Various BC associations have demanded that state government not reduce the reservations for BCs in the forthcoming municipal polls. They held a meeting here at BC Bhavan on Thursday.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, R Krishnaiah, president of BC Welfare Association, warned that any attempt by the state government to reduce BC reservations from 34 per cent to 26 per cent would be seriously resisted by the BCs.
