Joint Action Committee (JAC) chairman and National BC Dal president, Dundra Kumara Swamy, extended heartfelt thanks to the public, political parties, social organisations, and BC associations for making the statewide bandh on Friday a “grand success” in support of BC reservations.
Speaking to reporters at Kachiguda, Mr. Kumara Swamy said that the struggle for constitutional recognition of BC reservations would continue “until the Centre amends the Constitution and includes BC reservations under the Ninth Schedule.”
“This movement is not merely for reservations,” he asserted, “it is a fight for social justice and equality.”
He urged both the Central and State governments to expedite the process of implementing BC reservations in accordance with the constitutional mandate.
Mr. Kumara Swamy announced that the JAC would soon unveil a new phase of social action after Diwali, detailing its next course of agitation.
Calling the recent bandh a historic chapter in Telangana’s social justice movement, he remarked that it marked “a new turning point in the BCs’ struggle for dignity and representation.”
“From villages to the national level, we will continue to spread the ideology and consciousness of BC empowerment,” he said.
“We will not wait for anyone to grant us justice — we will achieve it through our own struggle,” he added.
He further stated that, if required, a national all-party conference would be convened by the JAC, bringing together political parties, BC organisations, intellectuals, and legal experts to frame a nationwide action plan for BC rights.
Several community leaders, intellectuals, lawyers, and participated in the meeting held at Kachiguda, expressing solidarity with the BC JAC’s ongoing movement.
