Elimination of poverty, unity among communities will be real tribute to B.R. Ambedkar in Konaseema, says Pawan Kalyan

Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan on June 20 (Wednesday) said that elimination of poverty and fostering of unity among all communities will be the real tribute to B.R. Ambedkar in the Konaseema region.

Addressing his first public meeting in the Konaseema region as part of his Varahi Yatra, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said, “Division on the lines of caste will further hamper development of the fertile region.”

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy did not initiate any measures to consult the local communities while proposing to rename the Konaseema district after Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. It was a deliberate attempt to create social tension and disrupt harmony among castes, the JSP chief alleged.
