Naidu’s promise of reservations to BCs is a fraud: Jagan
YSRCP leader Jagan Mohan Reddy has accused Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of deceiving the Backward Classes regarding election reservations. This follows a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the High Court's decision to strike down government orders exceeding the 50% reservation threshold.
Why it matters
The dispute highlights ongoing tensions over caste-based reservation policies and judicial limits on political quotas in India.
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) President Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy demanded that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu should apologise to the Backward Classes (BCs) for betraying them in the name of reservations, calling it a fraud.
He stated in a social media post that Mr. Naidu’s deceptive promise has been exposed by the Supreme Court, that the Super Six promises were another deception, and the cancellation of the schemes which people received under the YSRCP Government were another deception.
The manifesto of the coalition government with 143 promises was the biggest deception of all, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy added.
It may be remembered that the Supreme Court dismissed the Andhra Pradesh government’s plea on Friday (October 9) against the High Court (HC) judgment on reservations for the Backwards Classes (BCs) in elections to rural and urban local bodies (ULBs).
