Dalits demand their due
Staff Reporter
Round-table held under the aegis of CPI(M)-led KVPS
They demand an end to diversion of funds
ONGOLE: Concerned over the Union and State governments' alleged
non-fulfilment of the constitutional obligation of allocating and
spending in proportion to their population, a round-table held under
the aegis of the CPI(M)-led Kula Vivaksha Porata Samiti on Friday
decided to fight for their rights.
The conference, attended by functionaries of dalit bodies affiliated
to the TDP, the CPI and the frontal organisations of the CPI(M),
decided to hold a survey in all dalit hamlets ahead of the Budget
session of the State Assembly to project the fund requirement for
civic amenities, including internal roads, drinking water, burial
grounds and street lighting.
"We are going to lay a siege to the Assembly coinciding with the
Budget session demanding fund allocation as per the Constitution and
put a full stop to diversion of funds," KVPS district secretary A.
Malyadri said.
Funds allocation
The meeting adopted a resolution moved by the CPI(M)-led Agricultural
Workers' Union district secretary Pentiyala Hanumantha Rao pressing
for allocation of Rs. 270 crores for the welfare of dalits in the
district.
The meeting was attended by, among others, CPI(M) district secretary
J. Anjaiah, TDP SC wing district secretary K. Ravichandra and CPI-led
Dalit Hakkula Porata Samiti (DHPS) district secretary K. Subba Rao and
Mala Mahanadu district secretary D. Sivaji.
