Hyderabad, Nov. 27 -- Telangana Minister Ponnam Prabhakar on Thursday reaffirmed the government's commitment to implementing 42% reservation for Backward Classes (BCs).

Speaking with ANI, he criticised the BJP for politicising the issue, stating that the Congress party has been a champion for BC rights, citing Rahul Gandhi's advocacy.

Prabhakar emphasised that the government's efforts to achieve 42% reservation remain unchanged, despite opposition criticism. He accused the BJP of making politically motivated comments on the issue, rather than genuinely supporting BC welfare.

"We are still on the same path to implement 42% reservation... We worked so hard to achieve 42% reservation, and what can we do? They are just trying to politicise...
