CPM bats for removal of 50 pc quota cap

New Delhi: CPI (M) Politburo Member B V Raghavulu, here on Monday, demanded that a resolution on the removal of 50 per cent ceiling on reservations be made in the Telangana Assembly. He said it was time that the State government put pressure on the Centre to make the effective changes on reservations limit. This should be supported by all political parties, he added.
Speaking to the media, Raghavulu said the State government’s decision to effect changes on the reservations quota of SCs/STs is a welcome move. The demography in Telangana had certainly changed after bifurcation from the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh, he said. However, as for the hike in Muslim quota reservations, the State government should be more practical and sincere.
He added that it was not wrong to provide reservations for the economically challenged sections in the society irrespective of their religion. But, the protests by BJP seem more political and the party is opposing the State government’s move to reap political dividends, he added.
