Appointment of Subhash Adi opposed
The Hindu
Urging the State government to maintain status quo Backward Class category status, several leaders from other backward classes opposed the appointment of former judge Subhash B. Adi to consider the demand of Panchamsalis to be included in backward class 2A category.
Leaders of the Backward Classes Welfare Federation, who met here to chalk out the future course of action, felt that adding Panchamsalis in the 2A category list would affect backward classes already in the category. Former MLC and weavers’ community leader M.D. Lakshminarayan said another meeting of leaders has been convened on March 17 following which, the communities will launch a struggle. “B.S. Yediyurappa’s Budget has ₹500 crore allocation to about 300 communities, which is not right. On the other hand, an allocation of ₹500 crore has been made to the Veerashaiava Anubhava Mantapa,” he added.
