Addressing a press conference, Tudum Debba honorary president Soyam Bapu Rao and other office-bearers said bogus certificates are being obtained by Lambadas from Maharashtra who migrated after the tribe was included in the ST list in 1976. Verification of ST certificates of the recently DSC selected candidates from Lambada community revealed that as many as 34 candidates had obtained bogus certificates.

Mr. Bapu Rao also demanded issue of ST certificates only to genuine applicants.
