He said that they would conduct the 125th birth anniversary celebrations of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on a grand scale in the district.

He also said that they would abolish the existing SC cell in the district and constitute a new body and also mandal level committees.

Town Congress president Karra Rajashekhar Reddy, Mahila Congress president Gugilla Jayashree, and others were also present.
