The Story in Brief
Telangana Rakshana Sena chief Kalvakuntla Kavitha has demanded that the Centre pass a Bill providing 50% representation for Backward Classes in legislative bodies during the upcoming Budget session. She said activists would organise a Chalo Delhi rally with more than 1,000 cars if the demand is not met.
Speaking at a social justice meeting in Hyderabad, Kavitha also sought approval for Telangana’s 42% BC reservation Bill, which she said is pending with the central government. She announced a nationwide campaign and an 11-point charter for marginalised communities, while criticising both Congress leaders and the Opposition.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest claims here may suggest that a rally or speech can secure reservations overnight. It cannot. Kavitha’s 50% demand remains a political proposal, while the 42% Telangana Bill is still awaiting central approval, according to the Times of India. The useful test is whether the Centre takes a formal decision in the Budget session, not how many vehicles join the proposed march.
