Hyderabad, August 3: MLC Gorati Venkanna has urged the Telangana government to conduct a comprehensive caste census before proceeding with any classification measures. Emphasizing the importance of accurately assessing the demographic distribution of all castes across the state, Venkanna underscored that such data is crucial for ensuring equitable distribution of rights and benefits to socially disadvantaged groups.
Speaking passionately on the issue, Venkanna criticized the selective attention given to caste issues, questioning the motives behind recent discussions on caste wars and discrepancies in representation. He called for unity among Madigas and Malays, advocating for proportional political representation based on population demographics.
The MLC’s stance reflects growing concerns among marginalized communities regarding fair representation and allocation of resources. Venkanna’s call for a caste census is seen as a pivotal step towards addressing historical injustices and ensuring inclusive policies that benefit all sections of society.
As discussions continue within legislative circles, stakeholders anticipate further developments on the implementation of caste-based policies in Telangana. The government’s response to Venkanna’s proposal is awaited, with expectations high for a proactive approach towards resolving caste-related disparities.
