Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary N. Lokesh has promised the revival of ‘Adarana’ and other welfare schemes which were launched by his party for the welfare of Backward Classes (BCs) but withdrawn by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government if his party is voted to power in 2024.
Interacting with the other backward classes (OBCs) at Bangarupalem near Kavali on the 151st day of his Yuva Galam padayatra on July 9 (Sunday), Mr. Lokesh said, “All BC communities are struggling to eke out a living in the absence of the handholding support from the Jagan Mohan Reddy government. The TDP, if voted to power, will earmark funds for the BC sub-castes in proportion to their population and enact legislation along the lines of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act so that the unbated attacks on the BCs come to an end.”
