Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP leader N. Chandrababu Naidu says his party will earmark 34% of tickets for Backward Classes (BCs) in local body elections. The statements come as parties and administrations engage with the implementation of reservation quotas for the polls.
Outlets report that Naidu links the decision to broader legal and administrative developments. One account says the Supreme Court dismisses the state government’s plea challenging a High Court order that quashes 34% PC-BC reservations for local-body elections, while other reports say Naidu accuses the YSRCP of creating hurdles in implementing reservations and says TDP will stand by BCs.
The coverage also notes state-level moves connected to eligibility and documentation for beneficiaries, including distribution of pattadar passbooks, alongside plans to issue additional passbooks. Across sources, the common focus is the stated 34% representation plan for BCs in ticketing, alongside the legal backdrop governing reservation implementation.
