Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar has accused the Congress party of denying Backward Classes (BCs) their rightful share in political and other vital spheres, thereby rendering grave injustice to them.

The Congress had never made a BC leader the Prime Minister and Chief Minister during its nearly half a century rule, he charged while speaking to reporters at Marrimadla village in Rajanna Sircilla district on Friday..

Earlier, the Union Minister laid the foundation stones for staff quarters and compound wall of the Ekalavya Model Residential School at an estimated cost of ₹5 crore in Marrimadla.

He said, “What is the rationale behind conducting a meeting christened as “Samajika Nyaya Samara Bheri” by the Congress in Hyderabad given its dubious distinction of rendering severe injustice to BCs.”

The Congress leaders should have named it as “Samajika Anyaya Samara Bheri”, he said.

Mr. Sanjay asserted that the BJP has the proven track record of making leaders of BCs and other weaker sections occupy key constitutional posts at the national level and giving weaker sections due share in the Union Cabinet.

He alleged that the ruling Congress party is spearheading false propaganda against the BJP to cover up its failure to implement six poll guarantees and 420 promises made in its 2023 Assembly elections manifesto.

Both the Congress and the BRS are deliberately trying to blame the Central government over the urea issue, he flayed.

He noted that the Centre had allocated 12 lakh metric tonnes of urea as against the requirement of 9 lakh metric tonnes of urea to Telangana in the last season. The Centre is ready to give adequate quantities of urea in the current season, he said, condemning the ‘false propaganda’ against the Centre over the issue.
