Andhra Pradesh - Hyderabad
Dalit Mahasabha seeks two States
Staff Reporter
HYDERABAD: After deciding to support the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh
into Telangana and Seemandhra, AP Dalit Mahasabha on Tuesday submitted
a set of conditional demands to the Srikrishna Committee.
"Before recognising the legitimacy of a separate Telangana, the
Central government must also recognise the fears of the people of
Seemandhra," Katti Padma Rao, general secretary, DMS told media
persons. "Seemandhra must be granted Rs. 1 lakh crore to build a new
capital within five years. Till then Hyderabad must function as a
joint capital." Mr. Rao said administration would become more
accessible and governance more participatory in two separate, smaller
States. To further the process of devolution, the number of districts
should be doubled.
He hoped that the two new States would be sincere in protecting the
rights and interests of weaker sections. "There must be adequate
representation of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward castes
and minorities in the administration. Jobs must be reserved for them
in the private sector too." He said excess and uncultivated land
should be distributed among dalits.
