Mancherial municipal vice chairperson Gajula Mukesh Goud, Telangana Jagriti legal advisor Akkal Tirupathi Varma, and others took part in the rally.

The leaders said that the BCs constituted a major portion of the population in the Mancherial Assembly constituency, but had no representation in the Legislative Assembly. They said barely a member of the backward classes could become MLA from this segment so far. They requested the BRS, BJP and Congress parties to allocate the seat for BCs this time.
