Telangana Cabinet on Wednesday accepted the recommendation of the State Backward Classes Commission and the Chellappa Commission on increasing the reservation quota for the BC (E) category and the Scheduled Tribes in the State.
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao briefing the media after the Cabinet meeting this evening in Hyderabad said that the Cabinet will meet once again on Saturday evening to decide on the quantum of reservations to be increased for both the sections and a draft Bill will be finalised.
A special session of the State Assembly will be convened on April 16 to discuss the Bill and pass it. He exuded confidence that the Centre will also give its nod to the Bill.
He said that the Telangana legislation will be on the model of Tamil Nadu where 69 per cent reservation was in implementation for the last 32 years.
