Taking a serious view of Kapus resorting to violence in Tuni demanding inclusion in the Backward Classes list, the National Backward Classes’ Welfare Association said if anybody resorted to blackmailing tactics, then BCs would counter it with a stronger movement.
Association president R. Krishnaiah, speaking here on Monday, said that inclusion of Kapus in the BC list should not be a political decision as it was a Constitutional and technical issue. The Constitution and Supreme Court laid down two basic parameters for including any caste in the BC list, he said.
He said that by including developed castes in the BC list, other weaker castes included in the list would lose out on their rightful prospects under reservation.
