The Bahujans (marginalised Sections such as SCs, STs and BCs), who are in a majority in Andhra Pradesh, continue to be exploited by two castes, which have been keeping political power between themselves for several decades, according to Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) State Coordinator J. Purnachandra Rao.
The former Director General of Police of Telangana State, who had joined the BSP, post-retirement, was appointed the State Coordinator by the party president Mayawati. He was in the city to hold a meeting with the party workers at the Visakhapatnam Public Library, in Visakhapatnam, on Monday (March 4).
A.P. politics is in a sorry state of affairs with representatives of only two castes, despite their comparatively lower population, managing to retain power between themselves with their money power. They have given a new definition to democracy as “democracy for the caste, by the caste and of the caste”, Mr. Rao alleged at a media conference.
