Kurnool: Members of the Federation of the BC Associations on Monday laid siege to the Collectorate here demanding reservations for economically and socially backward communities among BCs on the basis of their population. They also wanted legal protection for reservations in jobs and promotions.
Highlights:
- Federation of the BC Associations lay siege to the Collectorate
- To launch statewide tour in the next week to bring all BC communities together
The protest was not based on parties. The participants were those who depend on traditional caste professions like ‘Kummara’, ‘Shalivahana’, ‘Kurmi,’ among others. Members of the Federation had come on a single platform to take up the protest programme. Federation convener Mallikarjun announced during the protest that the organisation would take up a statewide ‘Sankalp Yatra’ next week in 13 districts to bring all BC communities onto a single platform.
He said 123 recognised BC communities depended on traditional avocations for their livelihood, while alleging that ‘injustice’ was being done to BCs in reservations, jobs and promotions.
Mallikarjun and other BC leaders announced that the federation resolved to take up phase-wise agitations until the injustice was undone and the demands of reservations based on population and legal protection to jobs and promotions were conceded by the government. The proposed yatra was part of the federation’s resolve to intensify its agitation, Mallikarjun
asserted.
