**Hyderabad: BJP MLA Demands Clarity on BC Reservation Bill, Questions Congress Intentions**

**Hyderabad, Telangana – August 31, 2025** – BJP MLA Payal Shankar has ignited a controversy surrounding the newly approved 42% BC reservation bill in Telangana, demanding the Congress government clarify the allocation of reservations and its intentions towards the Backward Classes community.

Shankar questioned whether the entire 42% reservation would be allocated to BCs or if it would include Muslims, pressing the government to clearly state its position. He further criticized the alleged inclusion of a provision to increase the existing 4% Muslim reservation by an additional 6% within the bill.

“Why can’t the government clearly state that all 42% of reservations are for BCs?” Shankar questioned, alleging the Congress was misleading the BC community for political gain. He accused the party of using BCs as a “vote bank” while denying them significant political positions and opportunities.

Shankar highlighted the lack of BC representation in parliamentary seats and university chancellorships, claiming the Congress party only offers positions to BCs but not in the upper levels of governing. He specifically questioned the number of BCs appointed to ministerial positions and chairmanships in corporations.

Despite the criticism, Shankar affirmed the BJP’s support for BC reservations, stating, “BJP fully supports BC reservations.” He urged the government to address the anxieties of the BC community and demanded a discussion on the “Kamareddy Declaration,” a promise made by the Congress party. He called for the full 42% reservation to be allotted to the BC community.

In a separate comment, Shankar also remarked on the political aspirations of Government Whip Adi Srinivas, suggesting he has the potential to become Chief Minister, but questioned whether the Congress party’s structure would allow him to reach such heights.
