Noted BC leader and TDP MLA R Krishnaiah today alleged that TDP president and AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was not supporting introduction of BC Bill in Parliament.
Addressing the media here on Thursday, Krishnaiah said he would organize a three-day Chalo Delhi program from May 5 to 7 on BC issues to mount pressure on the Centre for the bill. He accused Naidu of failing to impress upon the Centre on the issue. Despite being an important ally of the BJP Government at the Centre, the TDP was not mounting pressure on the Centre in this regard, he said, adding that Naidu has been time and again going to national capital and was not talking in favour of the BC Bill.
“The BC bill should be introduced in Parliament to give 50 per cent reservation to BCs in all legislatures across the nation”, he demanded. He also asked other parties to write a letter to the Centre to introduce BC bill. Seeking reservations in employment, he asked Telangana Government to extend welfare schemes to the BCs in the State. He urged Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to extend the welfare scheme of Kalyan Lakshmi and three acres land to poor BCs. (NSS)
