Rich backward classes want power, plan to splurge money

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Political parties that dream of riding on backward community votes may have to alter their arithmetic as new age BC leaders are pressing for their share and that includes sitting on the Chief Minister’s gaddi. In a meeting held at BC Bhavan on Saturday, prominent politicians like Mr Devender Goud, Mr Bandaru Dattathreya, Mr Madhu Yaski Goud and Justice Eswar Goud deliberated on the strategy to be adopted to secure maximum seats from political parties for their respective communities. Mr Cheruku Sudhakar, a BC leader who floated Telangana Inti Party recently said that to secure social justice and self respect for the community, the Congress is not the only solution. He would certainly pump the required money for BC leaders to fight elections.” With 50 per cent voters’ strength, the Backward Classes are a conglomeration of around 110 castes in Telangana. BC leader and former LB Nagar MLA R. Krishnayya said that they are holding a meeting on October 28 inviting all the BC communities from Telangana State to chalk out a political course of action that would get them benefits in proportion to the size of their population.
