Is BJP SC Morcha unhappy with Modi's decision on SC categorisation?
This is being seen as a big relief to the Madigas and other non-Mala SC communities
Will the BJP make the big announcement on the SC reservation ahead of the polling in Telangana? The party has given enough indications that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make the all-important announcement on the SC reservations. This is being seen as a big relief to the Madigas and other non-Mala SC communities .
However, there are said to be divergent opinions on the issue of SC categorisation in Telangana. The numerically weak but politically important Mala community is said to be unhappy about this. The Malas argue that there should be wider consultations before the announcement of the SC categorisation. Meanwhile, there are rumblings within the BJP’s SC morcha also.
The BJP SC morcha is said to be unhappy at the party deciding on the SC categorisation. The morcha leaders say that the have not been consulted on the issue at any point of time. As a result, the SC morcha in Telangana is said to have kept itself away from the proposed meeting of the BJP national leadership. State SC Morcha chief Koppu Basha is said to be unhappy at being sidelined on the issue.
Basha, who himself is a Mala, feels that there should have been more consultations on the issue. He is said to be of the opinion that the categorisation in Telagnana would end up helping the religious conversion gangs. He feels that the conversion related issues should have been taken into consideration before taking the decision.
