AICC spokesperson Dasoju Sravan has urged Congress president Sonia Gandhi to create the Most Backward Classes (MBCs) and Nomadic Tribes department within AICC, PCC and DCCs with an exclusive focus on their socio-economic and political empowerment.
Welcoming the Congress party’s decision to empower the weaker sections at the “Navsankalp Chintan Shivir”, he said that the party must recognise and address the political aspirations of MBCs, and De-Notified Nomadic Tribes by providing reservations to them at all levels, given the denial of their rightful share over the years.
He welcomed the party’s decision to increase the percentage of organisational posts from 20% to 50% for the weaker sections.
