Hyderabad: Telangana Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister Capt. N Uttam Kumar Reddy has said that the recently completed caste-based socio-economic survey in the state is legally valid and can withstand scrutiny in court. He said the survey provides a strong foundation to increase reservations beyond the 50% cap set by the Supreme Court.
Speaking at an event held at Indira Bhawan in New Delhi ahead of Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka’s presentation on the ‘Telangana Socio-Economic Survey – Model and Methodology,’ Uttam said the Congress government had fulfilled a key election promise by launching the survey within three months of taking office in December 2023.
The event was attended by senior Congress leaders including party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud, and others.
