HYDERABAD: Union Minister of State for Social Justice Ramdas Athawale met BRS MLC and Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha here on Friday.
Kavitha urged the Union minister to take the initiative in securing early Presidential assent for the Bills adopted by the Telangana Legislative Assembly seeking 42% reservations for Backward Classes (BCs) in the state.
The two leaders discussed the ongoing BC movement led by Telangana Jagruthi and the proposal to provide 42% reservations for BCs.
Kavitha submitted a representation, requesting the Union minister to facilitate the approval of these bills by the President.
She stated that for generations, Bahujans have played a crucial role in shaping society and advancing civilisation. However, their representation in local bodies did not reflect their population share, which is a matter of concern, she added.
