Social Justice JAC Calls for Formation of Alternative Political Party for Telangana Bahujans
Hyderabad, March 05, 2025: The Social Justice Joint Action Committee (JAC) has called for a coordinated political movement by Telangana Bahujans to assert their self-respect, ensure equal development, and secure a rightful share in state power. The JAC has emphasized that despite numerous social movements and sacrifices, the Bahujan community has remained politically marginalized due to the absence of a dedicated political party representing their interests.
To further this cause, the Bahujan Rajya Adhikar Sadhana Samacharana (Bahujan Statehood Rights Conference) will be organized in Hyderabad on Saturday, March 15, 2025, in commemoration of the birth anniversary of Bahujan leader Kanshi Ram. The conference aims to bring together social activists, intellectuals, and students to discuss the political empowerment of BCs, SCs, STs, and minorities, who together constitute more than 90% of Telangana’s population.
Key Demands of Social Justice JAC
During a media conference, Social Justice JAC Chairman Prof. Prabhanjan Yadav, along with prominent leaders, outlined their core demands:
- Nationwide Caste Census: The JAC has called for a caste-based census to accurately determine the socio-economic status of different communities.
- Proportional Reservations for BCs in Legislatures: The JAC demands increased representation for Backward Classes (BCs) in legislative assemblies based on their population ratio.
- Budget Allocation Based on Population Ratio: Government funds and welfare schemes should be distributed proportionally to benefit all communities equitably.
- Political Empowerment of Bahujans: The JAC asserted that state power must be in the hands of the marginalized communities to achieve true social and economic justice.
Call for a ‘Silent Vote Revolution’
Despite 75 years of independence and over a decade since Telangana’s formation, the Bahujans continue to face social, economic, and political marginalization. The JAC expressed concern that oppression and discrimination persist, leading to a lack of opportunities and stagnation in all sectors. The leaders questioned:
“Does power belong only to the dominant castes? Why do Bahujans, who are the majority, continue to be deprived of political power?”
Quoting Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s famous words, “State power is the solution to all problems,” the JAC urged the people of Telangana to utilize their voting rights effectively and participate in the democratic process to secure political power for Bahujans.
