Backward Classes leaders of the Telangana Congress have demanded fair representation for the downtrodden sections during ticket distribution if the party has to keep up the present momentum.
The BC leaders met at Gandhi Bhavan on Sunday to discuss how to impress upon the party to give them more tickets this time and decided to send a delegation to the AICC leadership, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
Speaking to reporters later, Campaign Committee chairman Madhu Yaskhi Goud, TPCC working president Mahesh Kumar Goud, former PCC presidents Ponnala Lakshmaiah and V. Hanumantha Rao, and former MP Ponnam Prabhakar, among others, said that the party must recognise the BC leaders, given the percentage of votes they would bring in.
