The Telugu Desam Party will issue permanent caste certificates to the Backward Classes (BCs) akin to the Aadhaar card, says party national general secretary N. Lokesh.
Interacting with a group of the BCs here on Thursday during his Yuva Galam padayatra, Mr. Lokesh promised to withdraw G.O. 217, which went against the interests of the fishermen.
“The G.O., which allows the setting up of fish vending units at the village, will deal a heavy blow to the fisherfolk,” he said.
