The court dismissed the argument put forth by Advocate General S Subrahmanyam that the state government can think of increasing the quota for the marginalized sections under special circumstances. The bench maintained that there are no exceptional circumstances in the state now.
State municipal administration minister Botsa Satyanarayana assured that the government will comply by order of the high court and would conduct the election within a month, HT report added.
Satyanarayana slammed Telugu Desam Party led by N Chandrababu Naidu for the judgment. He alleged that the petitioner -- Reddy -- is a TDP sympathizer and does not want the quota to be increased for SCs, STs, and OBCs.
He also said that Naidu does not stand by the rights of the weaker sections of society. He deliberately made Reddy filed a petition to “stall the hike in quota,” as per media reports.
While TDP spokesperson and former MLA Bonda Umamaheshwar Rao said the YSRCP government had intentionally brought in the increased quota for marginalised sections only to attract votes, despite knowing that the order would be rejected in the court of law, HT report added.
