Krishnaiah Demands 50 pc reservation for BCS

Speaking to the media persons here, Krishnaiah said out of about 56 per cent BC population in the country, only 12 per cent BCs have entered parliament and state assemblies. He said they would conduct the Chalo Parliament programme in May to mount pressure on Union government for reservations. He said after 67 years of Independence, a BC leader Narendra Modi took oath as Prime Minister.

He demanded Modi government introduce the BC bill in Parliament and provide reservations for BCs in statutory bodies in his reign. He said, that though there were nearly 36 parties in parliament, no party is effectively taking up the cause of BCs and added that only 8 per cent BCs are there in administration sector and 12 per cent were there in politics.

These figures tell about the worst condition of BCs, he added. He alleged that all political parties were treating BCs as vote banks. He demanded the political parties that they put pressure on state and union governments to pass resolutions to provide BC reservations in statutory bodies. He also demanded the State government to increase the salaries of village sarpanches up to Rs 20,000 and give them cheque power.

Krishnaiah warned the Nizamabad Municipal Corporation officials against removal of Mahatma Jyothiba Phule statue in the city and demanded that corporation officials immediately reinstall the statue within 24 hours at same place. Association state president Jajula Srinivas Goud, Nizamabad District President NaralaSudhakar, State Youth wing president Srinivas Goud and various BC associations’ members participated.
