Allocate local body seats to BCs in proportion to population, says association
Muddada Madhu said the issue had been raised with N. Chandrababu Naidu, who assured justice for the most backward communities in seat allocation, and that BC Commission chief Rajiv Ranjan Mishra had taken note of MBC issues
Muddada Madhu, president of the Uttarandhra Backward Classes Association, on August 10, 2026, urged political parties to allocate local body election seats to backward communities like Yadava, Nagavamsam, Reddika, and Viswabrahmin based on their population size. In an interview, Madhu highlighted that the Yadava community, being the second largest in population, had yet to receive the deserved political representation in elections.
He emphasized that with elected representatives from these communities in Zilla Parishad, municipalities, and corporations, issues could be raised and addressed. Madhu informed that the matter has been communicated to Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, who has pledged to ensure justice for the most backward communities in seat allocation.
He called upon all political parties to gather population data for each community and distribute more seats accordingly. Madhu also mentioned that the BC Dedicated Commission Chairman, Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, had taken note of the concerns of the Most Backward Classes (MBCs) during his tour of the northern Andhra region.
