The All India OBC Students Association (AIOBCSA) held a protest at the Arts College in Osmania University on Saturday, calling on the Union Government to include Telangana’s Backward Classes (BC) reservation bills in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution.

The demonstration, titled ‘BC Satyagraha’, was part of the association’s growing campaign demanding 42% reservations for BCs in the State.

Speaking at the event, AIOBCSA national president G. Kiran Kumar said the demand is not just a political issue but the result of a century-long social justice movement led by bahujans. He stressed that 42% reservations are essential to ensure fair and proportionate representation of BCs in governance and administration.

The association criticised the Telangana government for what it called a lack of initiative and inaction on the matter.

AIOBCSA national secretary B. Mahesh Goud stated that students across Telangana are united and determined to continue the movement until their demands are met. He warned that if necessary, the agitation would be taken to Delhi.
