Actor Suman lauds CM Revanth Reddy as ‘Real Hero’ for BC reservation efforts

HYDERABAD: Actor Suman has commended Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for his initiative in implementing 42% reservations for Backward Classes (BC) in education, employment, and political sectors within the state. Speaking at the BC Mahadharna organised by the National Committee of BC Welfare Associations at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, Suman referred to Revanth Reddy as a ‘real hero’ for fulfilling his promise regarding BC reservations. He expressed unwavering support for the Chief Minister, stating that all BC communities stand with him.

Suman also highlighted the longstanding demand for granting Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to BC communities residing in agency areas, particularly the Goud community. He urged Revanth Reddy to address this issue, suggesting that fulfilling this demand would elevate the Chief Minister’s stature among these communities. Additionally, Suman appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to implement BC reservations at the national level.

The BC Mahadharna witnessed participation from several prominent leaders, including AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi, MPs Kanimozhi and Supriya Sule, Telangana Ministers Konda Surekha and Ponnam Prabhakar, TPCC Chief Mahesh Kumar Goud, Government Whip Aadi Srinivas, MLC Kodandaram, Congress leader V. Hanumantha Rao, and actor Suman. The protest aimed to press for the approval and implementation of the bill passed by the Telangana Assembly, which seeks to increase BC reservations to 42%. Despite invitations, the BJP and BRS parties did not participate in the event.
