Hyderabad: Accusing the Congress government of deceiving the BCs, National Backward Classes JAC Chairman and Rajya Sabha member R Krishnaiah demanded withdrawal of GOMs 46 and suspension of Gram Panchayat elections.

Speaking on the occasion, R Krishnaiah said there were apprehensions among BC organisations over GOMs 46 as it was against the interests of BCs. The Congress government should reinstate GOMs 9 and extend reservations to the community accordingly, he demanded.
“Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy should lead an all-party delegation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to exert pressure for extending 42 percent reservations to BCs,” Krishnaiah insisted.
Coming down heavily on the Congress government for deceiving the BCs, the Rajya Sabha MP questioned as to why the Congress MP Rahul Gandhi or INDIA parties were not raising the issue in the Parliament.
“No private bill was introduced and no debate took place. If the Congress MPs boycott the Parliament for four days, the Central government will initiate talks and measures,” he stated.
Wondering how not one panchayat was reserved for BCs in Khammam district, Krishnaiah stressed that BCs were not seeking alms but demanding their rightful share in reservations.
