BC Welfare Association Vows to Continue Fight Until Constitutional Amendment for Reservations

Hyderabad, October 17, 2025: Gujja Satyam, National Vice-President of the Backward Classes (BC) Welfare Association, has declared that the struggle for BC rights will persist until a constitutional amendment ensures their rightful reservations. Speaking ahead of the statewide bandh scheduled for October 18, Satyam issued a stern warning to political parties, stating that those failing to support the movement for BCs’ legitimate rights would face consequences.

Satyam revealed that the bandh has garnered widespread support from various community organizations, caste associations, opposition parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and even the ruling Congress party in Telangana. He emphasized that public representatives who do not participate in the bandh will be considered opposed to BC reservations and labeled as adversaries of the community.

Describing the bandh as a fight for the self-respect of Telangana’s 2.5 crore BC population, Satyam called on every BC leader and community member to join the protest with placards and demonstrations. He underscored the movement’s goal to pressure the central government in Delhi to enact a constitutional amendment, specifically to include BC reservations in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution.

The BC Welfare Association urged all sections of society to actively participate in the bandh, framing it as a critical step toward securing social justice and equitable representation for the BC community. Satyam reiterated that the movement would continue relentlessly until its demands are met, signaling a broader nationwide agitation if necessary.
