Hyderabad: A eight -hour reservation debate in the Telangana Assembly on Monday culminated in the approval of two emblematic bills that aim to extend the amount of Reserve in educationGovernment jobs and rural and urban self -government from 50% to 70%, breaking the limit of the Supreme Court in the quotas.
CM A Revanth Reddy showed political unanimity by approving the tickets: BRS, BJP, AIMIM and CPI supported the measure, as a sign that the state reservation framework deserved to be consecrated with a constitutional amendment during the continuous session of the Parliament.
The first of the proposed laws: the backward classes of Telangana, the scheduled castes and the scheduled tribes (reserve of seats and appointments) Bill 2025, proposes a 42% quota for BCS, 18% for SC and 10% for STS, above the 29% existing for BCS, 15% for SCS and 6% for STS.

Telangana classes (Seating reserve in rural and urban local bodies) Bill 2025 extends the 42% quota a. C. to rural and urban local organizations. Before this, the BC reserve in local organizations varied from 18% to 23%, depending on the population of each municipality or Panchayat.
Revanth raised his hand to lead a delegation of all parties to Prime Minister Modi and other superior parliamentarians to press for the proposed constitutional amendment. He said that the empirical data of a door -to -door survey would boost this amendment. The data, which include information on BCS, SCS and STS, are presented as a bulletproof argument to exceed the 50% limit in the reserves, a Supreme Court that had indicated could be considered whether the numbers supported it.
The speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar said that the initial plan was to allocate to 15% for SCS, which increased to 18% depending on a Akbaruddin Owaisi suggestion of AIMim. But the house rejected three amendments proposed by BRS. These requested a 42% share for BCS in all government contracts, the creation of a BC subplan similar to those of SCS and STS, and an assignment of 20,000 million rupees for BC Welfare in the next budget.
Revanth, together with Vice President CM Bhatti Vikramark and BC welfare minister, Ponnam Prabhakar, expressed his confidence that a constitutional amendment was a matter of time. Prabhakar urged all political parties to set aside their differences to institutionalize the 42% BC quota, inspired by the success of Tamil Nadu in ensuring a similar reserve for them through bipartisan support.
The Assembly also discussed the scheduled caste bill of Telangana (Rationalization of reservations), which deals with the SCS subclassification. It will be discussed on Tuesday before being sent to the governor for approval. The Supreme Court has trained states to subclassify SCS.
Revanth informed the Chamber that the former BRS government had sent a proposal to Center for 37% of the BC reserve. He said the Congress government would withdraw that proposal and send a new one for the 42%reserve, since the two proposals could not coexist.
