Hyderabad: Telangana State Backward Classes Finance Corporation chairman Nuthi Srikanth Goud hailed the Telangana cabinet’s decision to approve 42 percent reservations for backward classes (BCs) in local bodies, calling it a historic step.
He said the move would light up the lives of BC communities and urged people to celebrate across districts with firecrackers, sweets distribution, and press meetings. Srikanth Goud stressed that the approval of the bill in the Assembly marked the fulfilment of a long-pending demand.
Telangana cabinet decision sparks celebrations
Srikanth Goud recalled that the previous government had imposed a ceiling on reservations, limiting opportunities for BCs. By lifting that cap and implementing 42 percent quota, the present cabinet had delivered justice to the community, he said.
He expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, PCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud, and AICC in-charge for Telangana Meenakshi Natarajan. Urging the district units to organise large-scale events, firecracker displays, and community gatherings, he appealed to them to spread the message of the cabinet’s action.
“The decision is historic. It should be written in golden letters as it realises a decades-old dream of backward classes,” Srikanth Goud said in a statement. He urged BCs across the state to celebrate the day as a milestone for social justice.
