Days ahead of the Assembly election in Telangana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday set in motion the process of setting up a committee that will go into the issue of sub-categorisation of the Madiga community within the Scheduled Castes, a long-pending demand.
Government sources said Mr. Modi met with Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba and other officials for this purpose.
No other detail was provided on the timeline of the setting up of the committee on sub-categorisation.
