Telangana Assembly passes Bills to increase BC reservations

thehindu.com

The Telangana Assembly has passed two Bills to increase reservations for Backward Classes (BC) to 42% in education, employment, and local body elections. This change requires approval from the Central Government. The new legislation also maintains 15% reservations for Scheduled Castes and 10% for Scheduled Tribes. The decision follows a survey and recommendations from a commission that assessed the backwardness of BC communities. The previous Bill, which aimed to raise BC reservations from 29% to 37%, has been withdrawn. The current government conducted a thorough review before introducing the new Bills in the Assembly.
