YSRC has also been under pressure from BC leaders. This may see a new composition of caste representation fighting in the next general elections.
BC sankshema sangham president Nakkalamitta Srinivasulu has urged all political parties to reserve 75 MLA seats and 10 MP seats for the backward classes in the next general elections in the state.
He was addressing mediapersons at the state guest house here on Tuesday, and said that all political parties, including ruling and Opposition parties, were just using members of backward communities for vote banking. He urged to reserve at least one MP seat in every district.
Nakkalamitta Sriniva-sulu also asked to give a honorarium of Rs 5,000 per month to the BC unemployed youth.
He wants the Central government to introduce the BC Bill in Parliament giving 50 per cent Constitutional reservation in the legislative bodies to BCs.
An agitation will be launched across the country if the BCs are not given quota as demanded, he warned. Srinivasulu said that BCs were facing more severe problems than SCs and STs in the absence of beneficiary schemes by the government.
