Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) has criticized the YSR Congress party honorary president Y.S. Vijayamma, who was declaring that the party would fulfill the ideals of her husband late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, for keeping mum on the statement of her party leader Jupudi Prabhakar Rao against SC classification.
Speaking to the media persons here on Thursday, MRPS state president Perupogu Venkateswararao Madiga has warned that they would obstruct Y.S. Sharmila’s Padayatra if Vijayamma failed to declare her clear stand on SC classification.
He urged the state government to provide legality to SC and ST Sub Plan meant to spend funds for welfare of SC and ST community people. He reminded that the SC and ST Sub Plan funds have been diverted to other purposes. He alleged that the move of Manda Krishna Madiga to launch a political party was meant for his personally benefit, but it would not benefit the community people in any way. He demanded the Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar to take the initiative for introduction of SC Categorization Bill in the Winter Session of Parliament. He lamented though all parties have supported the SC categorization, they were not showing their sincerity in action to introduce the SC categorization Bill in the Parliament.
MRPS general secretary M.S. Raju said that they would organize a meeting at Lepakshi Hub lands of Anantapur district to distribute the land to landless dalit community, on November 15.
Venkateswara Rao said that they would organize ‘ Madigala Chaitanya Sadassu” on December 5 at Basheerbagh Press Club to mount pressure on the state government to take the initiative on SC categorization Bill. He said that they would launch ‘ Deeksha’ on SC categorization at Indirapark, on January 20, 2013, conduct ‘ Charmakarula Sadassu’ on February 15, 2013 at Ravidra Bharathi, demanding the state government to revive the LIDCAP and declare Rs 1000 crore special package to SC leather workers. He informed that they would organize “ Ranabheri” on March 10, 2013 at Nizam College, with all political parties and madiga community leaders.
MRPS vice president M. Srinivas Madiga, state secretary Obulesu Madiga, vice president Vakkala Venkat Madiga and Krishna madiga were also present. (NSS)
