Telangana caste survey draws praise of Congress top leadership
Mr. Reddy pointed out that the Telangana caste survey is a role model for the country and coined a new term for Social, Economic, Educational, Employment, Political Caste Survey calling it a 'RARE' Survey (Rahul-Revanth survey). Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka made a power point presentation to the Congress MPs at a programme in New Delhi on Wednesday (July 24, 2025) evening.
The Chief Minister said that a letter from Ms. Sonia Gandhi appreciating the socio-economic survey in Telangana was like a Nobel Prize and Lifetime Achievement Award. He claimed that he had fulfilled Rahul Gandhi's promise in the Telangana State given by Sonia Gandhi. Mr. Reddy expressed gratitude to Mr. Rahul Gandhi for praising him and his team, including the Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka for performing exceedingly well.
Mr. Gandhi has described the survey conducted by the Telangana government as a milestone. 'The caste census is not an easy subject, and thought of it as difficult for CM Revanth Reddy,' the Congress leader said. He also had a hunch the Chief Minister's community might not have agreed to the survey, but Revanth Reddy conducted the survey with enthusiasm and efficiency.
He praised the government for conducting the survey not from closed administrative rooms, but lakhs of Telangana people from all social classes opened their doors and participated in this survey.
The Telangana government possessed an important social, economic, educational, employment, political and caste survey data which required for the 21st century. With this data, development in any field, social, economic, educational, health, etc., can be achieved from the village to the State level. He proudly says that no other state in the country except Telangana has the opportunity to provide such targeted development, Mr. Gandhi remarked.
The AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge too praised the Telangana Government for successfully conducting the Caste Survey which set a new direction for the country. Kharge described the caste survey as a bold step taken by Chief Minister. He also praised Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi for promoting the caste census in Telangana and fulfilling the promise made during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
'Rahul was responsible for not only raising the issue of caste census, but also saving the Constitution with the slogan 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan'. Prime Minister Modi agreed to conduct a caste census along with the Population Census under the pressure from Rahul Gandhi,' the AICC President said.

BJP wants exclusion of 10% Muslim quota from BC list
Hyderabad: Telangana State BJP president N Ramchander Rao on Saturday demanded that the Congress government provide 42 per cent reservations specifically for the Backward Classes (BC) community, without allocating any shares to other communities. Speaking at a dharna organised by the BJP OBC Morcha at Dharna Chowk, Indira Park, Rao urged the Congress government to exclude the 10 per cent reservations for Muslims from the 42 per cent BC reservations list, asserting that the BJP opposes religion-based reservations. A large number of party workers attended the dharna, which was held to demand the implementation of the Kamareddy BC declaration. The Congress party had promised to provide 42 per cent reservations for the BC community. Rao criticised Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's government for politicising the issue of BC reservations by organising protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. He argued that the Congress party has been unable to enact the 42 per cent reservation policy and has instead blamed the central government to mask its failures. He demanded that Revanth Reddy apologise to the Backward Classes for not fulfilling his promises. Rao asserted that the BJP is the only party dedicated to the welfare of backward classes (BCs). He highlighted that the party is led by a BC leader, Narendra Modi, who serves as Prime Minister. Additionally, there are 27 BC leaders in his cabinet and five BC leaders serving as Chief Ministers in states governed by the BJP. The Congress party has never appointed a BC leader as Chief Minister in united Andhra Pradesh or Telangana. He pointed out that the Karnataka government promised reservations for BCs before the assembly elections but failed to uphold those commitments. Similarly, he claimed that the Revanth Reddy government is raising the issue of BC reservations right before the local body elections, but is unlikely to fulfil its promises. 'Let CM Revanth Reddy explain how much money he has spent on the welfare of BCs in the state so far,' questioned the BJP chief. Rao appealed to the BC community to support the BJP, which he emphasised is fighting for justice for their community. Malkajgiri MP Etala Rajender stated that the Congress promised 42 per cent reservation for Backward Classes (BCs) in local bodies, education, and jobs during the BC Declaration in Kamareddy. However, under the BRS rule, this reservation has been reduced to 23 per cent, betraying the BC community. Revanth Reddy has failed to fulfil his promises, including the commitment to implement 42 per cent BC reservations and conduct elections within six months. The BCs feel deceived, and Revanth Reddy's lack of integrity has been exposed. Additionally, promises were made regarding fee reimbursements for BC students, interest-free loans for BC youth, and increased pensions, none of which have materialised. The government has not released pending arrears, forcing families into debt. While a commission was formed for BC statistics, it lacks legal recognition, unlike Tamil Nadu's effective commission that operates under Article 340 of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952, he added. In contrast, the BJP has appointed OBC ministers and achieved significant leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is well-regarded nationwide. The reality is that as long as the BRS and Congress exist, progress for BC leaders will remain stagnant. It is crucial for people to differentiate between those who merely promise and those who deliver.

Revanth made 50 trips to Delhi with zero returns: KTR
Hyderabad: BRS working president on Friday launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing him of making over 50 trips to Delhi since assuming office, without securing any tangible benefit for the State. 'In just 20 months of Congress rule, Revanth Reddy has made 50 visits to Delhi. What has Telangana gained from these trips? Not a single paisa. Not a single new project. Not a single rupee of additional Central funding. If he has achieved anything, let him publish a white paper,' KTR demanded. He alleged that Revanth Reddy is running the State not through administrative decisions and policy files, but through frequent flight bookings. 'Revanth Reddy will go down in history not as a Chief Minister, but as a tourist CM who kept shuttling between Hyderabad and Delhi with empty hands,' he said and accused Revanth of acting as a loyal servant to three political bosses — Rahul Gandhi, Narendra Modi, and Chandrababu Naidu — and claimed that Telangana's interests have been mortgaged to safeguard his own political career. He stated that Revanth is appeasing Rahul Gandhi to retain his post, surrendering Telangana's economic autonomy to corporates close to Modi to escape corruption cases, and gifting away Telangana's water resources to Chandrababu Naidu by remaining silent on the Banakacharla project, which threatens Telangana's agriculture.

BJP conspiring to derail 42% BC reservation: Ponnam
Hyderabad: Countering the BJP's dharna at Indira Park, the Minister Ponnam Prabhakar accused the party State president Ramchander Rao of attempting to derail the progress of 42% BC reservation through propaganda. He reiterated that the BJP rather helping out BCs was trying to deprive them of their rightful privilege. In response to dharna, the BC Welfare Minister said that Congress remained committed to the Kamareddy Declaration and this will be implemented despite all the impediments created by the Opposition. He accused the BJP of trying to do irreparable injustice to the weaker sections citing the excuse of Muslim reservation. 'If there was any seriousness amongst the BJP leaders, then BJP MPs and Union Ministers should go to Delhi and convince the Central government to implement 42 BC reservations in Telangana. The Minister accused the BJP state president of bias against the weaker sections. He said that the Congress was fighting with the same spirit of Telangana struggle for BC reservation and would not keep quiet until this was achieved.
