BRS Working President KTR said that increasing BC reservations is not just a political issue, but is necessary for social justice. “If the Indi and NDA alliances come together, the BC Reservation Bill will immediately become a law. Everyone should put aside political differences and work together on this issue,” he said. KTR’s comments have given courage to the BC groups. Since the BC community is an important political force in the state, experts are analyzing that this movement is likely to have a key impact on future political equations as well.
Meanwhile, BJP state president Ramachandra Rao called on the party ranks to make the bandh a success. “Public pressure is essential to get appropriate reservations for the BC communities. That is why every worker and follower should participate in the bandh,” he said. Along with the BJP, several BC associations and student associations are also supporting the bandh on a large scale. In this context, the bandh to be held on October 18 is likely to receive a wide response across the state. Political circles are describing it as a new chapter for BC rights.
