: Mandiga Reservation Porata Samithi president Manda Krishna Madiga on Monday said attempts by the State government from going to Naravaripalli would be fought legally.

The MRPS leader said that those who were working against the ideals of B R Ambedkar were posing as the champions of the weaker sections.

“Dalit leaders, who are working against the interest of the Schedule Castes, are being given important posts in the government,” Mr. Krishna said.

Mr. Krishna asked why the SC leaders who were given posts in the government were silent on the proposals to include Rajakas in the SCs list. “Only the untouchables are true Dalits. Even the Rajakas treated the Dalits as untouchables, but these anti-Ambedkar leaders are completely silent over this issue,” he said.

He said all SCs, who were against the attempts of the State government and its SC cronies to undermine the ideology of Ambedkar, would participate in different types of protest for a week from Tuesday.

MRPS along with Dalits of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu would go to New Delhi to bring pressure on the Central Government to take the steps needed for the implementation of the categorisation of SCs.
