BC body asks parties to reserve seats for BCs, minorities

Backward Classes Ikya Sangarakshana Samithi state president V G R Naragoni on Sunday demanded the all political parties reserve seats for BCs, minorities and Kapu community based on their population in the state.

Talking to media persons at the round-table conference in the Press Club, Naragoni said that injustice has been done to BCs, minorities and Kapu community in giving political representation since long. At least now, all political parties should give proper representation to BCs, minorities and Kapu community in their respective parties and take steps for their welfare, he stated.

He also hailed the Telugu Desam Party’s move to allot 100 seats for BCs in the Assembly elections in 2014. He predicted that the next assembly elections would witness a hung assembly in the state.
