Rajya Sabha MP and BJP National OBC Morcha president K. Laxman has questioned the BRS government about the tardy implementation of ‘BC Bandhu’, poor representation for weaker sections in the Cabinet, restricting the fee reimbursement to those getting ranks below 10,000 only in EAMCET among Hindu BCs, setting aside the BC Sub Plan proposals and so on.
Addressing a BC convention here on Tuesday, the senior BJP leader accused the K.Chandrasekhar Rao regime of subjugating the BCs and not giving them the requisite support either in welfare or development schemes as per the population of its castes. To add insult to injury, the government had included a few Muslim castes into the BC list, reducing the pie further.
Mr. Laxman claimed that except for the BJP, other parties had neglected the BCs from Independence and there was a need to take this message to the masses as other parties had never bothered. The Congress party had ignored the BCs since Independence and refused to implement the quota, he charged.
