With the formation of the TDP in 1982, a golden era has started for all the downtrodden sections of society in the State, observed the president of State unit of the TDP, Kinjerapu Atchen Naidu, on Saturday.
Addressing the media persons after releasing the book entitled ‘BC La Vennu Virustunna Jagan’ (Jagan breaking the back of BCs), Atchen Naidu said that the TDP has created various opportunities forward BCs financially, socially and politically. Whether in power or in Opposition, it is only the TDP that always stood by the downtrodden sections of society, he said.
However, the late chief minister, Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy family, which got economically strengthened after illegally occupying the mines of one Jinka Venkata Narasaiah, after murdering him, is now suppressing the BC community, Atchen Naidu remarked. Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, who came to power by totally misleading the people, has started his wicked game to slain the BCs, he said.
After Jagan came to power 74 BCs were done to death while illegal cases have been foisted against 800 persons, including himself, Atchen Naidu observed. Over 3000 people are being subjected to various kinds of harassment, the TDP State unit president said, adding that when someone raises voice false cases are being foisted against such persons.
Calling upon the people to realise the fact that the weaker sections of society who are very strong in the TDP are being subjected to trouble by registering false cases at will, Atchen Naidu said that some modern infrastructure bought just before the 2019 elections was distributed to certain extent while the remaining could not be distributed due to election code. Now, Jagan who is not willing to distribute the remaining infrastructure to the BCs is claiming the community as ‘my BCs’, he added.
The late NT Rama Rao in his capacity as the chief minister of the State created 24 per cent reservation for BCs when there was no quota for the community, later Chandrababu Naidu, who succeeded NT Rama Rao increased the quota to 34 per cent, Atchen Naidu pointed out. Now, as Jagan brought down the reservation by 10 per cent 16,000 BC leaders lost various posts, he stated.
The Chandrababu government with a single GO established 175 residential schools when there were only 36 such institutions, he said that study circles were set up during the TDP regime and foreign studies too were encouraged. “I really feel pained when Jagan poses as if he has established the BC Corporation and the YSRCP leaders dance to his tunes,” Atchen Naidu remarked.
During the TDP regime either the chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) or the Executive Officer (EO) would have been from the BC community, he said stating that Chandrababu has accorded highest priority for the community. But now, the Chief Minister is giving all posts for only those who belong to his own community, he said.
Despite the court order, Jagan has appointed his own community persons as advisors, Atchen Naidu said and felt that the caste census is aimed at only deleting the votes of BCs. Atchen Naidu felt that this Government is now on ventilator and the TDP will always stand by the BC community.
