Allocate local body seats to BCs in proportion to population, says association
The Uttarandhra Backward Classes Association is demanding that political parties allocate local body election seats to backward communities in proportion to their population.

Speaking to the media here, he said the Yadava community was the second largest by population, but was yet to get its due political share in elections.
