TDP, allies back 34% reservation for BCs, says Palla Srinivasa Rao

TDP State president Palla Srinivasa Rao said discussions were under way with the NDA alliance partners on seat sharing for the upcoming local body elections, but a broad understanding had been reached, and all of them were committed to offering 34% reservation for the Backward Classes (BCs).

However, the category-wise selection of candidates could be done only after the Supreme Court has taken a decision on the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the State, he observed.
