MLC hails CM over naming Konaseema Dt after Dr. BR Ambedkar
He said Ambedkar was a great leader, who could not be seen as confined to any particular region or caste but a notable personality to the entire country.
AMARAVATI: MLC Dokka Manikya Vara Prasad hailed Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy for naming Konaseema district after Dr. BR Ambedkar and described it as a historical moment.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, he said that the decision of naming Konaseema district as Dr. BR Ambedkar Konaseema district was exactly reflecting the Constitutional spirit. He said Ambedkar was a great leader, who could not be seen as confined to any particular region or caste but a notable personality to the entire country.
Referring to chaos and arson in Amalapulam, he said some vested interests were responsible for the violence in Konaseema and slammed Pawan Kalyan for not condemning the attack on houses of Dalit Minister and BC MLA. He stated that people knew who was behind the attacks and advised both TDP and Jana Sena leaders to refrain from cheap politics. The MLC stated that it was evident from the reaction of Opposition TDP and Janasena over violence in Amalapuram that it was their conspiracy and questioned their stand on naming Konaseema district after Dr B R Ambedkar.
He slammed Opposition Leader Chandrababu Naidu, Jana Sena Chief Pawan Kalyan, and a section of media for creating an unnecessary ruckus by politicizing the issue. He urged the public to keep away from such evil politicians, especially Naidu who is anti-dalit, anti-BC, and anti-minorities.
