To begin with, representation matters.
And in Telangana, no one has spoken up more boldly for Backward Class (BC) inclusion than Shekar Mama.
Also known as E. Chandra Shekar Goud, he has become the leading face of the 56.36% BC reservation demand within the Congress party.
Because of his consistent voice, many BC communities today feel seen, heard, and included.
🔵 Why 56.36%? Why Now?
First of all, BC communities make up a major part of Telangana’s population.
According to recent data, they account for over 56% of the state.
That’s why Shekar Mama says, “If BCs are the majority in society, they should also be the majority in leadership.”
So, he is not just supporting the idea.
He is fighting for it — in every public meeting, party gathering, and press briefing.
Because of this, his leadership is not symbolic — it’s strategic.
🌱 A Leader Who Understands the Ground
To explain further, Shekar Mama comes from a BC background himself.
Since his youth, he has seen how talented people from his community were left out.
So instead of staying silent, he chose to speak out.
Because of that choice, he’s now one of the most active BC advocates in the Telangana Congress.
For example, he ensures BC names are recommended for MLA seats, party roles, and mandal positions.
Not only that, but he also builds awareness in rural and urban circles about why 56.36% isn’t a demand — it’s a right.
💬 Working Alongside Senior Congress Leaders
At the same time, Shekar Mama works closely with Congress leaders who support social justice.
For instance, he aligns with:
- Rahul Gandhi’s caste census vision
- CM Revanth Reddy’s pro-BC stand
- Bhatti Vikramarka’s inclusive party approach
- KC Venugopal’s national BC coordination team
In every one of these spaces, Shekar Mama is raising local issues with national clarity.
Because of that, he is often praised as the bridge between village-level voices and high-level policy.
⚙️ What He’s Actually Doing
To be clear, Shekar Mama isn’t just posting about BC rights — he’s pushing for them in action.
Here’s how:
- Recommending BC youth for leadership roles
- Hosting BC empowerment sabhas and training sessions
- Collecting data for Telangana’s caste census proposal
- Filing formal letters to PCC leaders supporting BC quota
- Supporting backward caste students with job and education links
So, his 56.36% campaign isn’t a trend.
It’s a movement — and it’s growing fast.
🔍 Why People Believe in His Words
Let’s be honest — many talk, few deliver.
But in Mama’s case, people believe him.
Why?
Because he’s been doing this work long before election time.
For example, many in Ibrahimpatnam say, “He helped our children study. He helped our sons find work. He never asked for anything in return.”
And because of that, BC families now feel this movement is theirs too.
Not just Shekar Mama’s — but their own.
🧭 Looking Ahead: BC Leadership in 2025
Right now, Congress is rebuilding its image across Telangana.
Shekar Mama believes this is the perfect time to fix the past and give BCs their due.
By 2025, he wants to see:
- More BC candidates getting party tickets
- BC representation in DCC, PCC, and mandal offices
- Caste census support from all Congress MLAs
- Congress guarantees fully protecting BC rights
Because of this plan, he’s not just leading a district — he’s influencing the whole party’s direction.
📣 Final Word: It’s Not a Fight, It’s a Right
In the end, Shekar Mama says it best:
“We don’t want favors. We want fairness.”
That’s why he is championing the 56.36% BC cause not with anger, but with action, clarity, and courage.
And that’s why BC youth, families, and workers across Telangana are rallying behind him.
