Speaking on the occasion, he said the BCs were in majority in the country and all the States. They should be provided with due representation in the legislative bodies including Parliament. He wanted the Centre to form a separate Ministry for the BCs and provide 50 per cent reservation to the BCs in the bill.

He recalled that BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao had extended support to the demand for reservations for BCs. A resolution was adopted in the first State assembly and forwarded to the Centre.
