Musheerabad: The National Backward Classes Welfare Association would hold a ‘chalo Delhi’ rally on February 1 to press its demand for 50 per cent reservations to BCs in legislatures and increasing the education and job quota from 27 to 50 per cent, said R Krishnaiah, president of the organisation, here on Wednesday.Addressing the association state committee meeting in BC Bhavan, he demanded tabling of the bill in Parliament on the BC reservations.
The BC leader stated that after the rally its leaders would meet the President of India, the Vice-President, several Union Ministers and leaders of 36 opposition parties to impress upon them the need for meeting the BCs increased share in the quota.Krishnaiah alleged that the Centre tried to misguide the system by providing 10 per cent reservations for the poor among the forward castes, while expressing distress over the neglect of BCs in employment, education and politics during the last 71 years.
He claimed that recent figures provided by the Centre showed that the BCs share in politics did not cross 14 per cent. ‘This indicates the injustice done to BCs in the political system’.The BC leader questioned the rationale behind the Centre providing 10 per cent reservations for EWS, while flaying the government for ruining the system for securing votes.
Gujja Krishna, vice-president of the association, chaired the meeting which was attended by State Yuvajana Sangham president Neela Venkatesh, Bhupesh Sagar, Seshagiri Rao, Samala Ravinder, Jillapalli Anji, Dasu Suresh, Jaipal Mudiraj, T R Chander, C Rajender and Gajendra.
