They alleged the government knew the quota could face legal hurdles and demanded an explanation from the coalition government."},{"text":"The YSRCP leaders also challenged Naidu to demonstrate his commitment to BC political representation in the upcoming local elections. They questioned why the government had not pursued a constitutional route to protect reservations beyond the existing 50% ceiling, pointing to Tamil Nadu’s Ninth Schedule approach as an example. Their remarks are political allegations by the opposition and do not by themselves establish the government’s intent."},{"text":"With the High Court directing the local-body election process to move forward within six weeks, BC representation is set to become a major political issue in Andhra Pradesh.
