Devani Satish Madiga, who served as a member of the BJP executive committee and contested as a BJP candidate in the last Assembly elections from Achampet constituency, joined the Congress at the Gandhi Bhavan here on Sunday citing disagreements with the party’s policies.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Satish Madiga expressed displeasure over BJP’s approach, stating concerns that the party’s policies primarily benefit the upper classes. He highlighted his belief that the Congress has historically prioritised the development of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) through various initiatives.
The issue of SC categorisation, which is in the Supreme Court, was attributed to the efforts of the Congress party, he said. Satish commended telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s meticulous approach in advocating for SC categorisation and ensuring that their arguments were heard in the Supreme Court.
