Telugu Yuvatha State secretary D Nagaraju today said there was no protection to the statues of Dr B R Ambedkar in the Congress rule in the State
Devatoti Nagaraju , in a statement here, asked the Dalits to think who are the real supporters of Dr Ambedkar and which parties were following policies of the father of the Constitution.
Criticising the inordinate delay in installing a statue of Dr Ambedkar on the Assembly premises, Nagaraju said though we welcome installation of Ambedkar statue, but the State government has been delaying since two years in spite of repeated reminders. But the government has decided to install the statue because elections are just around two to three months, he said.
Appreciating the TDP for its welfare program for the Dalits, Nagaraju said the TDP was following Dr Ambedkar’s policies right its inception. A bronze statue of Baba Ambedkar was installed on the premises of the Assembly due to the efforts of TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, he added.
He recalled that it was late N T Rama Rao, who named one of the entrances of public meeting venue at Nizam College Ground as “ Ambedkar” during formation TDP in 1983. The TDP is always working for welfare of Dalits, he added. (NSS)
