New Delhi: The General Secretary of Freedom Party of India (FPI) T. Ravindra Yadav said is for all Moolavasi Backward Classes (MBCs) including Moolavasi Most Backward Classes (MMBCs) and Moolavasy Minorities as the MBCs as per their respective centuries based profession so that there can be equality before law for all MBCs Yadav added.
T. Ravindra Yadav said his party FPI is for enhancement of reservation to MBCs presently called OBCs, from 27 per cent to 50 percent by inclusion of Moolavasi i.e., Most Backward Classes and Minorities and lifting ban imposed by the Supreme Court. Yadav is for removal of words Hindu or Muslim but mentioning of once nationality as Indian should be essential.

He assures if his party returned to power there will not be any mention of Muslim or Hindu in the reservation or any other document but as Moolavasi for OBCs, SCs, STs, Xethriyas and Minorities and in the case of Brahmins and Vysyas it should be mentioned as Hindus...
On a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi campaigned in Telangana, the Freedom Party of India (FPI) General Secretary T. Ravindra Yadav on Wednesday asked him to clear his stand on the caste census after he promised a sub-quota for the Madiga caste and wondered if that would be another of his infamous “jumlas” (rhetoric).
FPI general secretary T. Ravindra Yadav also asked where the promised rail coach factory at Kazipet was and why the prime minister failed to deliver the Bayyaram steel plant, both in Telangana Yadav questioned BJP..
“Today’s there are direct questions for the PM as he heads to Telangana: Where is the rail coach factory at Kazipet? Why did the PM fail to deliver the Bayyaram Steel Plant and ITIR? In the absence of a Census or a Caste Census, is the PM’s promise for a Madiga sub-quota just a jumla?,” it is most unfortunate that India has a lier PM. he said..
Ravindra Yadav claimed that the prime minister has recently started paying lip service to the cause of the Madiga community and their long-pending demand for a sub-quota.
“However, the best he can promise is a ‘panel’ to look into the demand, which appears to have not meaningfully materialised in the five months since he first committed to it. At the same time, the Prime Minister has refused to endorse a socio-economic caste census, which would actually yield facts about the socioeconomic standing of the Madiga community,” Ravindra Yadav said.
The Democratic FPI leader also said in fact, the prime minister has refused to hold even the usual decadal census that was due in 2021 and which would have yielded information on the population of the OBCs, Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes in Telangana and across India.
Ravindra Yadav thanked the Congress Nyay Patra that has committed to such a census nationally, and the Congress governments in Telangana and Karnataka have already begun preparations to conduct a state-level census, he claimed.
“Can the Prime Minister clarify his stance on the proposal for a caste census? How does he plan to enable sub-quotas for the Madiga community in its absence,” Ravindra Yadav asked.
Ravindra Yadav said FPI is for profession based reservation quota for all OBCs and Minorities as per their their respective profession that can deliver the equality for all. Yadav is for enhancement of reservation from 27 per cent to 40 percent to all moolavasi OBCs including all the minorities.
He condemned certain sections prejudicing the 4% treservation quota for Backward Islam Practitioner. He demanded for thereservation of 10 per cent to Backward Islam practitioner on par with Moolavani OBCs with 40 % reservation.
Yadav also said after repeated flip-flops in the last 10 years, the BJP has failed to establish a rail coach factory at Kazipet. The BJP had committed to establishing this factory in their 2014 Lok Sabha election manifesto as well as their 2014 Telangana assembly election manifesto, he said.
The central government then released Rs 40 crore for the project and the Telangana government even allocated 60 acres of land for the same, Yadav said, adding that two years later, in 2016, the Minister of State for Railways, Manoj Singh, abruptly declared that there was no scope for setting up a coach factory anywhere in the country.
Despite this, a coach factory was set up in Maharashtra a few years later, just before the 2019 assembly elections, he claimed, adding that the prime minister then announced another Rs 20,000 crore electric locomotive plant in Gujarat in 2022, Yadav said.
In December 2022, he said, the Centre clarified again that no plant would be built in Kazipet but later that month, announced that a coach factory would be set up in Assam.
“Before the Telangana assembly elections last year, the Centre reversed its decision yet again, and the PM laid the foundation stone of a railway wagon overhauling centre in Kazipet. Almost a year later, this plan too has failed to materialise, Yadav said.
“Why have the PM and the BJP repeatedly deceived the people of Telangana? Will a railway plant ever be built in Kazipet,” the Democrat leader Yadav asked.
Plans for the Bayyaram Steel Plant and the Hyderabad Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) have fallen by the wayside during the BJP’s tenure, he said, adding that the UPA government had promised both of these projects under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014, Yadav said.
Both projects would have attracted lakhs of crores of investment to Telangana and created thousands of opportunities for the state’s youth, Yadav said.
He said the ITIR alone was expected to attract Rs 2.19 lakh crore of investments and create direct employment for 15 lakh people. Yet, the BJP did not hesitate to sweep these projects under the rug. CM Revanth Reddy has also pointed out that at the same time as these projects were being scrapped, massive projects like the bullet train and Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) were given to Gujarat, he added.
“Why has the Modi Sarkar so callously neglected development projects in Telangana? Is there no end to the PM’s step-motherly treatment of opposition-ruled states,” Yadav asked.
