Jagan treating BCs as ‘backbone’ classes, says BC minister

Deccan Chronicle  

VIJAYAWADA: State BC Welfare minister Venugopalakrishna said on Tuesday that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s administration helped Backward Communities raise their self-esteem in Andhra Pradesh. BC people got major positions in both the state government and the YSRC party since 2019, he said, adding that the fee reimbursement scheme introduced by the Jagan-led government turned out to be a boon to the poor. “Jagan as chief minister is offering full fee reimbursement to BCs.” The TD under Chandrababu treated BCs as vote banks but Jagan as CM honoured BCs and treated them as “backbone classes,” the minister claimed. The chief minister is standing behind all the BCs, he said, adding that the CM made him a minister and gave chairmen posts of corporations to five others from the Kallu Geetha sub-castes.
