Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has mandated the creation of a specialized commission by November 4 to gather relevant data on reservations for Backward Classes (BC) in local elections.
During a strategic meeting with Congress leaders and government officials, Reddy emphasized the state's dedication to conducting a comprehensive BC caste census.
The initiative follows an October 30 Telangana High Court order that demands a specific commission replace the current Backward Classes Commission for accurate data collection, corresponding with a Supreme Court ruling on reservation allocation.
