LDF appeasing forward communities: Vellappally

PATHANAMTHITTA Accusing the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government of attempting to appease forward communities, Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam general Secretary Vellappally Natesan has said the introduction of reservation to economically backward sections among them would only help relegate backward communities.

He was inaugurating the Sree Narayana Guru Jayanthi celebrations organised by the SNDP Yogam Pathanamthitta Union here on Saturday.

According to Mr. Natesan, the representation of backward communities in the bureaucracy of the Travancore Devaswom Board has come down to 6%. ``The remaining posts are currently in the hands of people belonging to a special category,” he said.
