Uttarandhra Ambedkarites Association Pushes for Enhanced BC Reservations
In a fervent plea to the Union and State governments, President Pandranki Venkata Ramana of the Uttarandhra Ambedkarites Association has called for an increase in reservations for backward class sections to a substantial 52%. Emphasizing the need to align reservations with the actual population representation, Mr. Venkata Ramana highlighted that the backward classes constitute approximately 55% of the country’s populace. Despite this demographic reality, reservations for these marginalized groups are currently capped at a mere 25% in many states.
This impassioned appeal for expanded reservations was made in conjunction with the commemoration of the 198th birth anniversary of the renowned social reformer Jyotirao Phule. Against the backdrop of Phule’s enduring legacy of advocating for social equality and justice, Mr. Venkata Ramana and fellow members of the association gathered to pay their respects at Phule’s statue located near the Vizianagaram Collector’s office.
Upholding Phule’s Vision: A Call for Equitable Representation
As the morning sun cast a warm glow over the gathered crowd, President Pandranki Venkata Ramana stood tall, his voice resolute as he articulated the pressing need for increased reservations for backward class communities. With unwavering conviction, he underscored the disparity between the actual population demographics and the current reservation quotas, urging policymakers to rectify this imbalance to ensure a more equitable society for all.
Drawing inspiration from Jyotirao Phule’s tireless advocacy for social justice and inclusivity, Mr. Venkata Ramana’s impassioned plea resonated with the assembled members of the Uttarandhra Ambedkarites Association. The solemn occasion of Phule’s birth anniversary served as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for equal rights and opportunities for marginalized communities across the nation.
Unity in Diversity: A Collective Call to Action
Standing in solidarity with President Pandranki Venkata Ramana, the association’s convener Ganta Veerraju, and members Thallapudi Apparao and T. John Kennedy, among others, echoed his sentiments for increased reservations for backward class sections. Their unified voices reverberated through the air, carrying the weight of generations of inequality and discrimination faced by these marginalized communities.
As the floral tributes were laid at the feet of Jyotirao Phule’s statue, a sense of solemnity and determination permeated the gathering, symbolizing the unwavering commitment of the Uttarandhra Ambedkarites Association to uphold Phule’s vision of a more just and inclusive society. In their collective call to action, they sought to galvanize support for the cause of increased reservations, rallying behind the enduring spirit of social reform and equality championed by Phule.
The Uttarandhra Ambedkarites Association’s impassioned plea for enhanced reservations for backward class sections serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality in our society. As we reflect on the legacy of Jyotirao Phule and the enduring impact of his advocacy for marginalized communities, let us heed the call for equitable representation and stand united in our commitment to building a more just and inclusive future for all.
