The Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) has demanded that the Central Government initiate the necessary legislative process for the speedy implementation of 33% reservation to other backward classes (OBCs) and women in Parliament and State Legislatures.
The BRS parliamentary party which met under the chairmanship of BRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao here on Friday passed unanimous resolutions seeking initiation of the legal process in this direction in the ensuing special session of the Parliament from September 18.
In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr. Rao said the visionary architects of the Constitution envisaged suitable provisions for affirmative action to correct historical wrongs that were done to socially and educationally marginalised sections. Part of the objective was achieved by providing reservations for OBCs in public employment and admissions in educational institutions.
