YSRCP government is responsible for misery of Backward Classes, alleges Nara Lokesh

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh has accused the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government of foisting over 26,000 false cases upon the Backward Classes (BCs).

“The ruling party is responsible for the murder of over 300 persons belonging to the community in the last five years. The Jagan Mohan Reddy regime has unleashed a reign of misery on the BCs by withdrawing various welfare schemes introduced during the TDP’s tenure, “ alleged Mr. Lokesh while addressing the ‘Shankaravam’ public meeting at Uravakonda in Anantapur district on march 10 (Sunday).

Mr. Lokesh promised that the TDP-JSP-BJP combine, after coming to power, would revive the reservation for the BCs in the local bodies, which was brought down by 10% by the YSRCP government.
