AP Backward Classes Welfare Association president and LB Nagar TDP MLA R Krishnaiah today demanded that the Telangana government prepare and announce a sub-plan of Rs 10,000 crores for BC welfare and Rs 5,000 crores for Minorities.
Krishnaiah said traditional handcrafts have been affected due to privatization and globalization and weavers who lost work resorted to commit suicides. The government should provide them alternative works by allocating funds meant for sub-plan. He expressed happiness that for the first time in the country a BC leader has been elected as Prime Minister. He hoped that Modi government would strive for welfare of 65 crore BCs in education, employment and politics besides passing a resolution in parliament by providing them 65 per cent reservation in Constitutional bodies.
TDP district BC president Jangaiah Goud, Yuvajan association State president Srinivas Goud, TDP leaders Murali, Malla Reddy, Ram Reddy, Srinivas Reddy and others attended the function. (NSS)
