Attacks on dalits more under TRS rule: Uttam

November 15, 2017 12:11 am | Updated 12:11 am IST - Hyderabad

The Congress on Tuesday said attacks on dalits had increased while Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao was keeping mum.

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said attacks on dalits had increased under the TRS rule and the Government was effectively encouraging such acts by not taking action against the accused.

Speaking at the TPCC SC Cell executive committee meeting, Mr. Reddy said all that the dalits were getting under KCR’s rule was insults rather than their rights. The Congress was the only party which had ensured equal opportunities for dalits in all spheres.

TPCC SC Cell chairman Arepalli Mohan said the Congress party had always stood for Dalits and fought for their rights all through. Former member of Parliament Mallu Ravi and others participated.
