Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has defended the state's recent caste survey amid criticism from opposition parties, the BRS and BJP. Reddy accused these parties of undermining the survey to prevent backward classes from questioning their share in power.

Reddy, addressing backward class associations, highlighted meticulous efforts in conducting the survey, despite opposition allegations of inaccuracy. He challenged leaders like BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao to identify specific errors in the survey.
