Cong Faces Opposition Over Reservation for Madigas in Telangana
In the meantime, the Congress party is also confronting internal dissent over backward class reservations, having issued a show-cause notice to MLC Teenmar Mallanna. Mallanna has accused the caste census of being a ploy to further marginalize backward classes.
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is set to convene a meeting with party MLAs and key leaders tomorrow to prepare for the upcoming local body elections, following the resolution of the SC categorization and increased reservations for backward classes.
Manda Krishna Madiga, leader of the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi, stated, “The categorization has overlooked the Madigas’ backwardness and numerical strength, and instead categorized groups based on political motivations. The most forward castes have been placed in Group A, which is designated for the most backward SCs.” He accused the administration of favoring the politically influential Mala community and criticized state health minister Damodar Rajanarsimha, who is Madiga himself, for not adequately protecting Madiga interests.
Madiga previously orchestrated a rally in collaboration with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to advocate for SC categorization. A judicial commission formed by the state government recommended that the 59 SC sub-castes in Telangana be grouped into three categories, placing Madigas in the second group with a reservation of 9 percent.
Meanwhile, the Congress disciplinary committee has issued a show cause notice to MLC Teenmar Mallanna for his criticism of the state’s caste census findings, asserting that the data has been manipulated to reduce backward classes’ reservation. He even burned a copy of the caste survey statement during an Assembly session. Despite receiving the notice, Mallanna has persisted in his opposition to the caste census.
