Gadwal: The BJP OBC Morcha in Jogulamba Gadwal, led by District President Ramachandra Reddy, submitted a petition to Collector AO Bhadrappa on Tuesday. They demanded the implementation of promises made in the Kamareddy BC Declaration by the Congress Party.
Speaking at the event, Reddy criticized the State government and the Chief Minister for not responding to their concerns. He pointed out that out of the Rs 2.96 lakh crore State budget, only Rs 9,200 crore was allocated for BCs. This is despite BCs making up over 50% of the State’s population.
Reddy condemned this allocation as a betrayal of the BC community. He announced that the BJP OBC Morcha would protest against this injustice.
Reddy demanded that Rs 50,000 crore be immediately allocated for the implementation of the BC Declaration. He also called for increasing BC reservations to 42% in local body elections, as promised by the government.
Reddy mentioned that according to the Kamareddy Declaration, the government would conduct a caste census and increase BC reservations based on the BC Commission report within six months of coming to power. They also promised to raise current BC reservations in local bodies from 23% to 42% and provide 42% reservation in government civil construction and maintenance contracts for BCs.
Reddy also pointed out that no action was taken to allocate adequate funds for the BC Sub-Plan. Despite the promise to establish it with a legal framework and allocate Rs 20,000 crore annually, totalling ₹1 lakh crore over five years, nothing has been done.
