Amaravati: Finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu lashed out at opposition leader YS Jaganmohan Reddy for organizing a meeting on backward classes empowerment.“Backward Classes ( BCs ) got the real empowerment, particularly on political stage only after NTR formed the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). before that, they were never recognized as a force in society. Since its inception, TDP has been committed to the welfare and uplifting the backward classes and are the party’s backbone,” Yanamala said in a statement issued on Sunday.The finance minister also recalled various initiatives TDP came up with to empower the BCs in Andhra Pradesh. “Separate quota for BCs in allotment of house-sites and pucca houses were introduced when NTR was chief minister. Moreover, the Mandal Commission’s recommendation was implemented when NTR was chairman of National Front,” Yanamala said.Digging into YSRC supremo’s ancestral history, Yanamala alleged Jagan’s grandfather YS Raja Reddy of having worked against the BCs in the Rayalaseema region and claimed that several BC leaders were harassed and made to exit their public life by YS Rajasekhara Reddy“Jagan too has been playing with the lives of BC leaders in the party. He replaced several BC candidates in the party with leaders from upper-caste who came in with a huge amount of financial backing,” charged Yanamala.“It is only because Jagan is worried about the fact that all BCs are backing TDP, Jagan is keen on organising the BC Garjana ,” he stated.The AP finance minister also accused Centre of not approving the assembly resolution to increase the BC reservation quota. “Modi, KCR and Jagan are trying to instigate communal tensions in Andhra Pradesh as they have nothing to claim credit and seek votes. But the people will not tolerate such conspiracies and shall teach them a fitting lesson in the coming elections,” Yanamala asserted.
