"Poor, Dalits can benefit only in a clean political system"

Staff Reporter

DINDIGUL: If the political system were clean and non-corrupt, the poor
and downtrodden including Dalits would get all benefits fully and
their living standard would automatically go up, said Prakash Yashwant
Ambedkar, grandson of B.R. Ambedkar.

He was addressing a district-level meeting of India Kudiyarsu Katchi
held here on Sunday evening. The country have enough resources and
component for Adi Dravida welfare in the State was around Rs.1,700
crore. If the government properly disbursed the funds, each Dalit
would get at least Rs.20,000, a month.

Corrupt system was responsible for pathetic condition of Dalits. The
India Kudiyarsu Katchi should be equipped to elect at least five MLAs
in the forthcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly election to air the grievances
of Dalits before the high office. "You need total commitment and fight
yourselves to achieve it."

Hitting hard on 2G spectrum scam, he said on one hand, there was an
opinion that Dalits had no will power, capacity and were
intellectually backward. But former Minister Raja had shown that he
was a brilliant Dalit by manipulating the system and earning so much
money through illegal means. The loss of Rs.1.70 lakh crore was almost
equal to the budget of Tamil Nadu and other states.

He advised people not to sell votes for Rs.5,000 or even for Rs.500 as
this would make them happy for one day only.

[ZESTCaste] Telangana Will Have a Dalit CM, Muslim Deputy CM: TRS

Telangana Will Have a Dalit CM, Muslim Deputy CM: TRS
Hyderabad | Jan 03, 2011

TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao today said his party would make a
Dalit leader as Chief Minister and a Muslim Deputy CM and implement
the "Naxal agenda" of providing food and shelter to the poor after the
formation of separate Telangana state.

"I have said earlier too that we will implement the Naxal agenda after
separate Telangana is formed. After all, Naxals are also human beings.
They are fighting for providing food, shelter and other basic needs of
the people," he said.

He was addressing a gathering at the TRS office here after a
surrendered Maoist leader, Sambasivudu, joined the regional party. Rao
said several leaders of his party had worked with revolutionary
outfits.

Pointing out that about 80 per cent of people in Telangana belonged to
backward classes, Dalits, minorities or other such poorer sections of
the society, Rao said his party would make a Dalit leader as Chief
Minister of Telangana state and a Muslim as Deputy CM.

Land would be distributed to the poor and agricultural investment
provided to them, he said.

Telangana people have been suppressed and atrocities committed
against them since decades by the landlords, razakars (collaborators)
during the Nizam rule and faced police action at the time of
Independence and "non-Telangana rulers" after the formation of Andhra
Pradesh, he said.

Telangana is now fighting for statehood and the Centre should keep
its promise to form the separate state by introducing a Bill in the
budget session of Parliament, the former Union Minister said.

Rao said ruling Congress would be routed if it invited the wrath of
Telangana people by not keeping its promise to form the separate
state.

Taking exception to AP Congress President D Srinivas deputing two
representatives to the January 6 meeting convened by the Centre, Rao
wondered how can Congress send representatives from both Telangana and
non-Telangana regions.

"Srinivas belongs to Telangana. How can he send two representatives
from Telangana and non-Telangana to the meeting? Is this the help he
is doing to Telangana? TRS is boycotting the meet because it will be
an exercise in futility if divergent views are expressed. Congress
would be routed if they invited the wrath of Telangana people."

The Union Home Ministry has convened a meeting of eight recognised
political parties in Andhra Pradesh on January six to discuss the
Srikrishna Committee report.

Alleging that the Centre was deliberately inviting divergent views on
the issue, TRS had yesterday announced that it would boycott the meet.

Rao demanded the Centre introduce a Bill in the budget session of
Parliament for formation of separate Telangana as it announced last
year.

The TRS chief sought withdrawal of central security personnel deployed
in large numbers in Telangana.

The TRS President said he decided to skip the January 6 meet in Delhi
because the Centre may assume that there is no consensus on the
statehood issue.

If the parties are allowed to send two representatives -- one each
from Telangana and non-Telangana regions, there would be divergent
views, he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Sambasivudu said he had quit the
revolutionary ideology and decided to work for a separate Telangana
state in a democratic way.

Addressing a gathering of Telangana Commercial Tax department
employees, Rao said all Telangana employees should fight unitedly if
any government employee from the region faced harassment.

[ZESTCaste] Cycle rally to focus on dalits' problems

http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/article1026384.ece

KHAMMAM, January 3, 2011
Cycle rally to focus on dalits' problems
Staff Reporter

Beginning at Mudigonda, it will cover 22 mandals in Khammam

The Kula Vivaksha Vyatireka Porata Sangham (KVVPS) and the Vyavasaya
Karmika Sangham district units will conduct a 50-day cycle rally
christened "Dalitha Chaitanya Yatra" in the dalit habitations in
several mandals across the district from January 17.

Disclosing this to newsmen here on Sunday, CPI (M) Central committee
member Tammineni Veerabhadram, who is also the honorary president of
KVVPS district unit, said that the cycle yatra would begin at
Mudigonda and cover various dalit habitations in as many as 22 mandals
all over the district.

He said that the yatra was aimed at highlighting the plethora of
problems faced by the dalits and their miserable living conditions in
dalit habitations in the absence of basic amenities.

Awareness programmes

Awareness programmes would be conducted by the cyclists in the dalit
habitations to enlighten the dalits on their rights and enlist their
active participation in the campaign to exert pressure on the
government to make separate budgetary allocations for the development
of dalit habitations, he said.

He alleged that the plight of the dalits remained unchanged due to the
apathy of successive governments which deprived them of their due
share in development in proportion to their population.

The government should earmark separate budgetary allocations
exclusively for the development of dalit habitations and implement the
development schemes through a separate nodal agency to bring about the
desired results, he demanded.

He said that the cycle rally would also focus on eradication of social
evils like caste discrimination which are a scar on the civilised
society. KVVPS district president N Manohar, secretary P Sudhakar, the
Vyavasaya Karmika Sangham district general secretary M Venkateshwarlu
and others were present.

# Plight of dalits remained unchanged due to apathy of successive
governments: KVVPS leader

Dalits protest in city
TNN, Jan 3, 2011, 10.27pm IST

MYSORE: Members of various dalit organizations took out a protest
rally demanding action against the group that assaulted dalit youths
here recently.

In an alleged group clash at Naganahalli on Saturday night, two dalit
youths were assaulted by a group when they were travelling in a bus.
Victims Shashikumar and Parashuram were dragged out of the bus and
beaten up.

The protest by Karnataka Dalit, Backward Class and Minorities Forum
and Karnataka Backward Class Jagruta Vedike was led by former mayor
Purushotham, who urged the authorities to take action. "Atrocities on
dalits are increasing. No government has taken steps to prevent this
discrimination. If atrocities continue, we will take law into our
hands," threatened Purushotham, seeking protection to dalits.
