BJP National OBC morcha president K. Laxman said that the Backward Classes in Telangana have been thoroughly ‘deceived’ by the TRS Government in the last eight years by ignoring their demands for a ‘BC Sub Plan’, financial assistance, and appropriate representation in the Cabinet, among others.
Addressing a ‘BC Intellectuals’ Meet’ organised by the party here on Tuesday, the former MLA said that the State Government had even made an attempt to include 4 per cent quota for Muslims within the BC reservation, despite no legal or constitutional sanctity for reservations on religious lines. “Dr. B.R. Ambedkar himself had opposed such a quota,” he said.
Further, the TRS regime had reduced the BC quota in local bodies from 34% to 18% initiated by the N.T. Rama Rao Government and despite the Legislative Assembly discussing the proposed ‘BC Sub Plan’ for three days and passing scores of resolutions, nothing concrete has emerged out of it.
