BC-A communities samithi urges Bandi Sanjay to withdraw his statement
The BC-A Kulala Hakkula Parirakshana Samithi has formally requested Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar to retract his support for reclassifying the Mudhiraj community. The group argues that such changes should be based on scientific data rather than political statements.
Why it matters
Caste-based reservation policies are a highly sensitive and significant aspect of Indian political and social discourse.
The BC-A Kulala Hakkula Parirakshana Samithi on Sunday urged Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar to retract his support to inclusion of Mudhiraj community from BC-D group to BC-A group.
Addressing a press conference here, the Samithi’s founder president and retired professor M. Bagaiah took serious exception to the Union Minister’s ‘biased and unjustified’ statement about shifting a community from D group to A group in the BC reservations category. The BC-A group had 57 castes, most of which were far behind the Mudhiraj community who are large in numbers and way ahead of those in BC-A group, the retired professor said.
