Bharatiya Janata Party MP G.V.L. Narasimha Rao on Thursday demanded during the Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha that the Andhra Pradesh government should implement reservation (5%) for the Kapu community as Other Backward Classes (OBC).
He expressed regret that the Kapus account for 18% of the population but they continued to be socially and educationally backward. It was sad that the fruits of development were not reaching them in spite of all the rhetoric, he said.
