BRS MLC Sravan Dasoju has strongly criticised the Telangana government’s GO Ms. No. 46 on BC reservations in local bodies, calling it unconstitutional and fraudulent. He highlighted contradictions in the order, which uses SEEEPC Survey data for ward reservations but relies on the 2011 Census for Sarpanch posts, allegedly violating Article 243D.
The Telangana government has issued G.O.Ms. No. 9 granting 42 percent reservation to Backward Classes in local bodies, paving the way for long-overdue elections. With the High Court setting a September 30 deadline, the State Election Commission is gearing up for polls across thousands of Gram Panchayats, wards, ZPTCs, and MPTCs.
