Overview

• In an open letter, the BRS leader urged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to cancel the ongoing PG admission notification and issue a fresh government order to enforce local reservation in B‑category seats.
• Harish Rao cited 1,801 total PG seats in Telangana, with 50% under the All India Quota and roughly 450 of the remaining state-quota seats classified as management seats without a local quota.
• He argued that adopting Andhra Pradesh’s model of 85% local reservation in management seats would make about 382 additional seats available to Telangana students, leaving around 68 for non-local candidates.
• He contended that the absence of a local quota in management seats is enabling candidates from other states to secure seats that Telangana students could otherwise obtain.
• As of the reports published on Sunday, there was no formal response or policy change announced by the Telangana government.
