The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has accused the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government of taking the Backward Class (BC) communities for a ride during its four-and-a-half-year rule.
The TDP party leaders expressed solidarity with the Andhra Pradesh Viswabrahmana Sangam leaders who staged a demonstration to highlight what they called ‘attacks’ on the communities. The YSRCP government ‘let down’ the BC communities by not fulfilling the promises made ahead of the 2019 elections, the Viswabrahmana Sangam leaders alleged.
TDP Tirupati parliamentary constituency in-charge Golla Narasimha Yadav appealed to the BC communities to teach a lesson to the ruling party in the coming elections. “The YSRCP has virtually given a licence to its henchmen to attack the downtrodden communities,” he alleged.
Referring to the corporations formed by the government for the BCs, he sought to know the purpose of such ‘skeletal bodies if it could not allocate a single rupee for the development of the communities’.
“The Samajika Sadhikara Yatra undertaken by the YSRCP is not only an eyewash, but also an attempt to hoodwink the BC communities through empty rhetoric,” said Mr. Yadav.
Referring to the schemes and tool kits sanctioned to the artisans and craftsmen under ‘Adarana’ during the TDP regime, Mr. Yadav said sun schemes ‘remained a far cry’ today.
