Nakrekal legislator ‘not a Dalita Bandhu’, say TVV leaders

‘Lingaiah has not called on minor victim of rape and murder in his constituency, even a week after the incident’

Leaders of the Telangana Vidyavanthula Vedika on Tuesday alleged that reserved constituency Nakrekal legislator Ch. Lingaiah was “not a Dalita Bandhu”. Lapses on part of the district administration, consequent to the alleged rape and murder of a minor Dalit girl, also suggest that Dalits issues are not addressed keenly, they said. According to TVV’s Pandula Saidulu and Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti’s Bakaram Srinivas, “Nakrekal (SC) legislator Lingaiah not calling on the family of the Dalit minor victim, even a week after the incident on July 13, in his constituency, is pitiable. He is not a Dalita Bandhu.”
