Hyderabad, Novermber, 1 :The Telangana Rastra Samiti president, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao, promised Dalits that one from their community will be made chief minister of the Telangana state and promised the community to support it if it wishes to have a Dalit CM in Andhra.
This announcement of Mr Rao has scuppered the TD chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu’s attempts to win Dalit support.
On Sunday morning, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, by promising to support the struggle by SCs to get reservations in all sectors, won many hearts at Alai-Balai, a programme organised by Malas, a prominent Scheduled Castes group.
But by evening, Mr Rao came up with his promise to Dalits at a meeting. “I will ensure a Dalit chief minister for Telangana, and if you are ready to fight for a Dalit chief minister in Andhra region, my party will extend all support to you,” said Mr Rao.
Resolved to corner Mr Naidu, Mr Rao has been targetting him directly. Last week, Mr Rao had pointed out that Mr Naidu were not part of the team that staged a dharna before the Congress President Mrs Sonia Gandhi’s residence demanding Telangana State. He picked on Mr Naidu for not flagging off the train that it took.
