Dalit's meet supports T formation
February 21st, 2011
DC Correspondent
Feb. 20: The Dalit Mahasabha meet here on Sunday asked SC, ST, BC, and
minorities to work together, to get power in coming years.
The founder president of Mahasabha, Mr Katti Padma Rao, said that
Dalit communities were suppres-sed by forward caste leaders, hence
Dalits should protest against atrocities.
He said that only two castes are ruling our state, and alleged that
these casts do not want Dalit's development hence they never made a
Dalit chief minister, barring Damodaram Sanjeevaiah.
He lamented despite the ST/SC Atrocity Act, Dalits are facing
partiality in the society. Mr Padma Rao demanded provision of lands
for agriculture, and house, for Dalits. Mr G. Chakrapani, Mr Ch.
Gurup-rasad and others also spoke.
The leaders said that their Mahasabha is supporting separate Telangana
state. They opined that Dalits will get power only with the
bifurcation of state. Various groups staged cultural programmes on the
occasion.
Earlier, a rally was taken out in the town. Meanwhile, the Samaikya
Andhra Rashtra Vidyarthi Joint Action Committee leaders asked the
Mahas-abha leaders to reconsider their demand for smaller states.
They said that Dalit's conditions are very bad in small states like
Chattisgarh, Uttaranchal, and Jharkhand. The committee state
co-convenor, Mr R. Jagadeesh, and other leaders recalled that Dalit
Mahasabha was formed to develop the Dalit community, hence it should
not support for separate Telangana state.
