TPCC chief: Government committed to delivering social justice
HYDERABAD: Stating that the local body elections were deferred only to find ways to implement legislations pertaining to enhancement of BC reservations to 42 per cent, TPCC chief B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Wednesday said that the government will discuss the issue in its internal forums as well as in the Cabinet meetings in the light of the high court's directives to conduct the elections by the end of September. Addressing a press conference, along with Mineral Development Corporation chairman Anil Kumar Eravathri, at Gandhi Bhavan, Mahesh Goud said that the Congress government was committed to delivering social justice. He said that as part of this commitment, the government scientifically conducted a caste census and reached a conclusion that 42% reservations can be implemented for BCs. 'The precedent limiting reservations to a maximum of 50% has become null and void after the implementation of EWS reservations,' he said, blaming the BJP MPs for not taking the initiative to include the Bills in the Ninth Schedule of Constitution.

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.
