BCs Deceived Repeatedly, Says Kavitha; Telangana Jagruthi Holds Human Chain in Support of BC Bandh

Hyderabad: Telangana Jagruthi president Kalvakuntla Kavitha said that Backward Classes (BC) youth in Hyderabad are demanding their due share of reservations. Extending support to the BC bandh, Telangana Jagruthi organized a human chain protest at Khairatabad junction on Friday.

Speaking on the occasion, Kavitha mocked political parties that were responsible for implementing reservations but are now expressing support for the bandh, calling it “a political farce.” She alleged that the Congress government issued “fake GOs” and the BJP, which should have passed the BC Bill, was now indulging in political drama. “It’s like the killers coming to pay tribute,” she said.

Kavitha accused successive governments of betraying the BC community repeatedly. “Just like the Telangana movement, we will launch another movement for BCs. I urge everyone to make the bandh successful,” she said. She added that governments have failed to present strong arguments in court to uphold reservation policies, leading to adverse judgments from the Supreme Court.

Criticizing the Congress, Kavitha said the party failed to conduct the caste census as per norms and lacked sincerity even in implementing GO 9, which led to the court striking it down. She demanded that elections be held only after the BC reservation issue is resolved. “What is the hurry to hold elections now? In states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, elections were delayed for five years. Let the BC reservation issue be settled first,” she said.

Kavitha also accused the Congress of harassing sarpanches by not releasing pending bills and demanded that parties responsible for implementing reservations act with sincerity. Her son also participated in the protest at Khairatabad.
