‘Book KCR under SC/ST Atrocities Act’

KARIMNAGAR: SC\ST district leaders set fire to an effigy of TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao in Karimnagar on Monday in protest against the attack on party senior leader Ravindra Naik by TRS activists at Telangana Bhavan in Hyderabad. SC\ST association leaders led by Roop Singh and Ramchander Naik set fire to the effigy at Sripada Rao statue in the town and raised slogans KCR and demanded an unconditional apology for humiliating and attacking a tribal leader. They alleged that the TRS president is using Telangana sentiment for his selfish gains of attaining power and benefiting his family members by making money.

Reminding Mr. Rao’s statement of appointing a Dalit as Chief Minister in separate Telangana state and providing reservations to tribals, they asked whether insulting the Dalits and tribals was his hidden agenda. They demanded the government to register case against Mr. Rao under the SC\ST Atrocities Act.
