Why it matters
Political maneuvering regarding reservation quotas is a central theme in Indian electoral politics, directly impacting social representation and voter mobilization.
The TDP will give 34% of the seats to the Backward Classes (BCs) in the upcoming local body elections, says Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Addressing the gathering during the ‘Mee Bhoomi – Mee Hakku’ programme, at Narsingolu village of Kondapi constituency in Praksasam district on Friday, Mr. Naidu termed the BCs as the backbone of the TDP.
Reacting to the Supreme Court’s verdict on the reservation for the BCs, the Chief Minister said the TDP would continue to support them and ensure their representation through the party.
“The party has consistently worked for their social, economic and political advancement, and it stands by the BCs by ensuring them 34% representation,” he said.
