Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh said his party would launch Jayaho BC campaign aimed at highlighting the injustices meted out by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government to the Backward Classes, from January 4.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh said his party would launch a two-month Jayaho BC campaign aimed at highlighting the injustices meted out by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government to the Backward Classes (BCs), from January 4.
“A massive State-level public meeting has been planned and it would be followed by the release of a special manifesto for the BCs,” he stated.
Addressing a press conference on December 29, Mr. Lokesh said the TDP had been supporting the BCs since its inception and was committed to doing its best for their welfare.
He recalled that the TDP government had implemented a slew of welfare schemes for the BCs between 2014 and 2019. In contrast, the YSRCP government scrapped 27 welfare schemes. “The YSRCP government reduced the reservations for BCs in local bodies. As a consequence, about 16,000 candidates from the BC communities lost the opportunity to contest in elections. Though the government established 56 BC corporations, no funds have been given to them. Moreover, salaries were not being paid to the chairpersons of those corporations.”
“The YSRCP government failed in supplying water to the farm sector and in subsidising the loans taken by BCs. The fishermen community suffered a lot under the YSRCP rule,” Mr. Lokesh added.
The counsel for the government of Karnataka brought to the notice of the bench that the Central Government had some time ago issued directions to States to cancel the licences issued to private organisations ‘treating mother’s milk as ayurveda, siddha, unani drug’. A private entity, whose license was cancelled by the State Government, had challenged the order before a single judge of the High Court, and the issue is pending adjudication.
