Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge noted that “Congress party’s Social Justice 2.0 —a new movement for social justice, equity and empowerment of the weaker sections has begun in Telangana.”
“Our unwavering fight, spearheaded by Rahul Gandhi for justice is giving voice to the millions from SC, ST, OBC, EWS communities who have been sidelined for decades. Despite forming a vast majority of India’s population, these communities are glaringly absent from top corporate boards, the judiciary, bureaucracy, and premier institutions.
Further praising the Telangana government for the caste survey, he added, “But the scientific manner in which Telangana has conducted its survey must be a role model for the entire nation. Based on this groundbreaking socio-economic survey, our Government in Telangana has recommended 42% reservations for OBCs in local body elections and educational institutions. This significant bill is currently awaiting the assent of the Hon’ble President of India.”
