Telangana CM, BRS hail Supreme Court verdict on sub-classifications in SC, ST categories
PTI, Aug 1, 2024, 3:17 PM IST
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court ruling on empowering states to make sub-classifications of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes for providing quotas inside the reserved category to uplift the more underprivileged castes.
Reddy told the Assembly that it was the Telangana government that strongly argued in the Apex Court for the sub-classifications.
“I sincerely thank the constitution bench of the Supreme Court of India. Six out of Seven judges said that state governments can take up the sub-classification. On behalf of the state government, I am making a statement that Telangana would be the first state to implement the sub-classification, the CM said.
The Supreme Court order comes months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at a rally in Hyderabad with the MRPS chief on November 11 last year, promised to constitute a committee to look into the issue. The announcement was met with loud cheers from the crowd and left the MRPS chief in tears. The MRPS subsequently extended support to the BJP in the Assembly elections in Telangana that followed.
