BC welfare leader R Krishnaiah has extended his support to YSRC honorary president YS Vijayamma for her proposed protest in support of BC students on September 6 and 7. He has also said that all BC associations would support Vijayamma. He has also urged the political parties not to look at this protest from a political angle. Further, he appealed the government to ensure that steps must be taken to provide fee reimbursement to BC candidates. Krishnaiah has even hailed late Y S Rajashekara Reddy, the former chief minister of the state. He said YSR solved the problems of BC s.

It may be noted that several political parties were taking on the government for the new fee reimbursement policy, which would apparently put BC students in trouble. To highlight the same issue, Vijayamma called for a protest. The government has so far didn't respond on this proposed protest.
