Teenmaar Mallanna Flags Decades of Injustice Against BC Communities

Telangana Rajyadhikara Party president and MLC Teenmaar Mallanna has alleged that Backward Classes (BCs) have suffered decades of social, economic and political injustice, calling for equal opportunities and a fair share in governance. He said political empowerment was essential to address the longstanding concerns of BC communities, particularly farmers and agricultural labourers.

Mallanna's BC Rajyadhikara Yatra, launched with the objective of securing political power for BC communities, entered its 50th day. The foot march continued from Muthireddygudem in the Alair Assembly constituency towards Motkur. Party leaders and workers extended a warm welcome to Mallanna when he arrived in Atmakur, where the campaign received support from local party cadres.

As part of the march, Mallanna interacted with women agricultural labourers engaged in paddy transplantation in the fields on the outskirts of Atmakur village. He spoke to them about their livelihoods, working conditions and the difficulties they face in the agricultural sector. He sought to understand their financial circumstances and the challenges confronting women dependent on farm labour for their income.

During the interaction, Mallanna alleged that BC communities were not receiving their rightful share of government welfare benefits despite their significant contribution to the state's economy. He questioned the implementation and reach of several agricultural support programmes, including Rythu Bharosa, free electricity, fertiliser subsidies and Rythu Bima. According to him, BC farmers were not adequately benefiting from these initiatives, leaving many families struggling to meet their economic needs.

He maintained that securing political representation in proportion to their population was necessary to ensure that BC communities received adequate opportunities in governance and access to welfare resources. The yatra, he said, seeks to establish proportionate representation across all sectors, enabling BCs to have a greater role in decisions affecting their social and economic future.

Later, at the Atmakur mandal headquarters, Mallanna inaugurated a party flag pedestal established under the leadership of Telangana Rajyadhikara Party mandal president Elimineti Buchaiah.

He also visited the local IKP paddy procurement centre, where he interacted with hamali workers involved in handling and transporting paddy. Mallanna enquired about their daily working conditions, employment-related difficulties and other problems, as the 50-day campaign continued to focus on the concerns of workers and economically disadvantaged BC communities.
