*YSRCP to launch Statewide campaign against injustice to BCs*

Tadepalli, July 6: YSRCP leaders announced a statewide campaign highlighting the coalition government's betrayal of the Backward Classes (BCs), stating that BCs have been denied political representation, welfare, and constitutional opportunities over the past two years. Former Minister Chelluboina Venu Gopala Krishna, MLC Ramesh Yadav, and former MP Margani Bharat said the party would organize a major BC convention in Vijayawada, followed by zonal meetings across the State to expose the government's record and take the issue directly to the people.

The leaders said Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu denied the Deputy Chief Minister's post to BCs and failed to fully constitute BC Corporations by appointing their chairpersons. They contrasted this with the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government, which constituted 56 BC Corporations in a single phase and provided greater political representation to backward communities.

They also stated that the coalition had failed to fulfil the promises made to BCs in its election manifesto, while BC students continue to suffer due to delays in fee reimbursement. The leaders further said the YSRCP government had moved to provide 34% reservation for BCs in local body elections, but the initiative was blocked after legal intervention during Chandrababu Naidu's tenure. Reaffirming the party's commitment to BC welfare, they said YSRCP would intensify its campaign across Andhra Pradesh and take the issue of injustice to BCs to every household.
