Don't issue threats to Congress, ask PM to include BC reservations in 9th Schedule: Congress to Krishnaiah
Hyderabad
Former MLA and Chairman of the Mineral Development Corporation Eravthri Anil questioned the 'threats issued to the Congress' on the BC reservations by BJP Rajya Sabha member R. Krishnaiah, and alleged that the latter had become a BJP spokesperson than being a representative of the Backward Classes.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Mr. Anil said that Mr. Krishnaiah should be staging protests outside the BJP office, not Gandhi Bhavan, if he truly cared about the rights and welfare of BCs. 'If R. Krishnaiah continues to attack the Congress government, people will begin to see him as a traitor to the BC cause, as it is the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi, who were responsible for the nationwide caste census,' he said.
'Are you opposing a government that has already taken the lead by setting up a dedicated commission and conducting a caste census survey based on the triple test formula?', he asked, and advised that if the BJP MP was sincere about BC welfare, he should demand Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include the BC reservation bill in the 9th Schedule of the Constitution.
