Hyderabad, Dec 14 (NationPress) The Judicial Commission established by the Telangana government to investigate the sub-classification within the reserved categories of Scheduled Castes is expected to deliver its report in about a week, announced Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Saturday.
During the celebration of “Global Madiga Day” in Hyderabad, he guaranteed that the government would carry out the sub-classification smoothly.
He asserted that the Congress government was instrumental in the Supreme Court ruling regarding the sub-classification within the Scheduled Caste reserved categories.
He reminisced that Congress senior leader Rahul Gandhi had explicitly stated during the elections that a favorable decision would be made concerning the Madiga community.
The party clarified its stance in the SC and ST declaration.
Immediately after Congress assumed power in the state, the government appointed legal experts led by Cabinet Minister Damodar Rajanarsimha to advocate strongly in the SC categorization matter currently pending in the Supreme Court.
He also highlighted the government’s commitment to uphold the apex court’s verdict in the Assembly.
"The SC categorization issue has grown complicated, similar to the statehood movement for Telangana. Nevertheless, the government is obliged to make a decision that aligns with the aspirations of the public. Your argument holds weight, and the government’s intention is to provide justice to the community," stated the Chief Minister.
Revanth Reddy mentioned that a Cabinet sub-committee, led by Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, was formed to examine the execution of court orders without legal hindrances.
Following the recommendations of the Cabinet sub-committee, a Judicial Commission was established to deliver a report within 60 days.
The Commission is likely to submit its findings in a week, he noted.
He emphasized the significant role of Madigas in his political journey, stating that it is his duty to ensure justice for this community.
Revanth Reddy also claimed that the government has implemented measures to ensure substantial representation of Madigas in both political and administrative roles.
He pointed out that, for the first time in the history of Osmania University, the government appointed a scholar from the Madiga community as the Vice Chancellor.
Additionally, opportunities have been granted to the Madiga community, including positions such as the IIT Vice Chancellor and a member of the Education Commission in the Higher Education department.
Pagidi Pati Devaiah has been designated as the Director of the Skill University Board.
In October, the state government appointed Justice Shameem Akhter, a former Judge of the Telangana High Court, to lead a one-man commission to explore the sub-classification of Scheduled Castes reserved categories and provide recommendations to the government.
