BCs Counter Agitation against Kapus

Update: 2016-02-04 06:04 GMT
To effectively counter the pressure mounted by Kapu leaders, BCs have chalked out a strategy to safeguard their rights on reservations by stalling the inclusion of other castes in their community.

Collectorates in all the 13 Districts of Andhra Pradesh will be seiged on Thursday. A series of protests and dharnas might follow till they receive a clear assurance from Government.

Whereas in Telangana, BCs were fuming at TRS Government for exclusion of 26 castes (includes Shetti Balija, Thorpu Kapu, Koppula Velama and Gavara) from BC list and inclusion of orphans, transgenders (Hijras) and destitute in it. BCs allege KCR, an upper caste Velama, has deliberately insulted them by including Orphans and Hijras among them.Backward Classes were also seeking immediate release of Rs 25,000 fee reimbursement that's pending ever since TRS came to power.
