Representatives of Ambedkar India Mission, All India Dalit Forum, Joint Action Committee of Scheduled Castes and Communities, Balaga Foundation and others, on Tuesday, passed a resolution, asking political parties to allocate at least two seats for scheduled castes and communities in Srikakulam district.
They held a public meeting at Tekkali in Srikakulam to highlight the political injustice meted out to them, with eight Assembly seats coming under the general category after Rajam (SC reserved) shifted to Vizianagaram and Palakonda (ST constituency) now coming under the newly created Parvatipuram-Manyam district jurisdiction.
Speaking in the public meeting organised by JAC of Dalit communities, Balaga Foundation president Balaga Prakash alleged that the officials had failed to keep at least one seat for Dalit communities, while proposing the bifurcation of districts.
