Will bring law to protect backward classes from humiliation: Chandrababu Naidu

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday promised that the TDP-led NDA government will bring Backward Classes (BC) Protection Act on the lines of SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act to protect backward classes from humiliation. The Chief Minister said that discrimination still exists and a law like the BC Protection Act is needed. “There is discrimination. That is why there is SC/ST Atrocities Act and in the coming days this government will take the responsibility to bring BC Protection Act to protect backward classes from humiliation,” Naidu said while addressing a public meeting at Vadlamnu in Eluru district. According to the Chief Minister, there was no justice for backward classes till the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) came to power. He said that TDP is the only party which is doing justice to backward classes. Describing backward castes as the base of TDP, Naidu said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government will try to uplift these communities like other communities. Meanwhile, the TDP chief said that social media has become a haven for criminals. He warned that if anyone indulges in character assassination under the guise of social media, it will be his “last day”.
