Govt. should implement reservation for Kapus, demands Somu Veerraju
The Hindu
“When reservation is being given for Muslims, what is preventing the government from fulfilling its assurance to the Kapu community”
BJP State president Somu Veerraju demanded that the government should implement reservation for Kapus as per the commitment given by it in 2017 by passing the AP Kapu (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions and of Appointments or Posts in Services under the State) Bill in the Legislative Assembly.
“When reservation is being given for Muslims, what is preventing the government from fulfilling its assurance to the Kapu community who constitute a sizable chunk of the population?”, he questioned.
Addressing media persons here on Sunday, Mr. Veerraju said MP G.V.L. Narasimha Rao has rightly pointed at the government’s negligence in implementing reservation for Kapus. The government should at least now keep its word, lest the community should continue to be socially and economically backward.
