Minister for BC Welfare Ponnam Prabhakar said that individuals who previously did not provide information for the caste census still have the opportunity to do so now. While addressing the media at Gandhi Bhavan on Monday, the Minister reaffirmed that, as promised prior to the elections, the Congress government undertook a caste survey, which has been completed as part of a broader initiative.

“The time has arrived for justice for the Backward Classes, and no one shall be excluded, irrespective of any attempts to hinder this process,” Ponnam emphasized. He noted that key leaders from major political parties failed to furnish details for the caste survey and did not collaborate with the state government.

“With the exception of MLC Kavitha, no other member of the Kalvakuntla family contributed information for the caste census survey. I kindly urge all leaders to provide the necessary details regarding the caste census to the mandal-level officials,” Ponnam Prabhakar remarked.

He urged the Congress cadres and backward class groups across all districts to celebrate extensively, expressing gratitude and offering congratulations to the State government for successfully completing the caste census. The Minister emphasized that K Chandrashekar Rao ought to attend the Assembly to participate in a brief discussion regarding the caste census.
