34% reservation for BCs in local polls is our legitimate right, says Cheepurpalli MLA Kalavenkata Rao

Cheepurpalli MLA Kalavenkata Rao has stated that a 34% reservation for Backward Classes in local elections is a legitimate entitlement. He argues that such a quota protects the interests of historically disadvantaged groups and should be upheld in municipal polls. The claim reflects ongoing debates over reservation policies in India’s local governance structures and policy.
