Minister for Labour and Employment and YSR Congress Party MLA from Alur in Kurnool district Gummanur Jayaram joined the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in the presence of its national president N. Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan during the BC Declaration programme organised in Guntur on March 5 (Tuesday).
Addressing the BC leaders and cadres of both the TDP and JSP who gathered in large numbers from across the State, Mr. Jayaram lambasted Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for not giving the SC, ST, BC and minority legislators the “freedom to act independently“ in the last five years.
In his address, TDP State president K. Atchannaidu alleged that the YSRCP government ruthlessly suppressed the BCs. Alleging that he had been falsely arrested on charges of corruption, Mr. Atchannaidu challenged the government to prove the charges.
