New Delhi: The Backward Classes (BC) associations from Telangana held a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Wednesday. The protest is in support of the demand for the implementation of a bill recently passed by the Telangana Legislative Assembly to increase the reservation for backward classes from 23 per cent to 42 per cent.
The bill requires parliamentary approval, as the proposed 42 per cent reservation for BCs would exceed the 50 per cent cap on quotas.
