Reservations in education and employment was the community’s long-standing demand in Andhra Pradesh. The Congress, both in 2009 and in 2014, had also agreed to this demand in their election manifesto. In 2014, Naidu also promised 5% reservation to the community under the OBC category.
In order to implement this promise, the previous TDP government had formed a commission headed by Justice Manjunadha to examine the position of the backward classes. But the Manjunadha Commission couldn’t establish the need to provide reservation to the community.
However, after pressure from the TDP government, the members of the commission submitted another report after Justice Manjunadha resigned. The state government had approved the report in the legislative assembly and had sent it to the Centre for approval, which had rejected the assembly resolution on reservations.
