Dalits told to unite for empowerment
Visakhapatnam: The district secretary of the Communist Party of India,
J V V Satyanarayana Murty emphasised the need for unity among all
dalit organisations irrespective of political affiliations to get
political or financial empowerment.
He was addressing the third Greater Visakha City unit meet of Dalit
Hakkula Porata Samiti here on Sunday. Mr Murty said even after six
decades of Independence, the economic status of dalits remained static
with no improvement and the same would continue in future also unless
all dalit organisations unite and struggle for their rights.
Though the Constitution has provided rights to dalits, they are not
being implemented properly. He cited the example of how the State SC,
ST Commission was functioning without chairman. 'Whenever the
government feels the crunch of funds, it simply diverts the budget
allocations of SCs and STs.
Even dalit officers too are helpless in solving the issues, as
corporators were opposing the municipal commissioner B Ramanjaneyulu,
as he was strictly implementing the law, which drives away their vote
bank.
Appointing a Deputy Chief Minister from dalits will not help dalits,
he added.Former Bhadrachalam MP Marry Vijayakumari and former MLA
Gante Sumana observed that collective effort by all allied
organisations of dalits was the need of the hour to get empowerment.
The leaders of various dalit organisations attended the meet assured
of their cooperation in all future struggles. Mr J V Prabhakar
presided over the meet.
