Dalit leaders annoyed with CM's attitude

Chief  Minister  K Rosaiah  on Monday inaugurated the  Ambedkar  Bhavan  renovated  at an estimated  cost of  Rs 1.25  crore.   

Except unveiling the Ambedkar statue and cutting the ribbon marking the re-opening of the building  the Chief Minister  did not  address  anything about  the  Dalits or any sops  to their  welfare. On  the other hand  the  CM  preferred to greet only the corporate sector representatives for their liberal contribution for the Bhavan renovation .

Leaders of Dalits associations expressed their dissatisfaction  over Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah not addressing the Dalits, who had gathered in large number at the inauguration of the renovated Ambedkar building here today.

Still  worse  is that  the Dalit association representatives received shabby treatment at the hands of security personnel. They were neither allowed to submit a memorandum nor  were  given a patient hearing by the CM.

Annoyed by  Rosaiah's attitude, SC Association leaders Siddhartha Kumar and Surya Narayana walked out of the venue, blaming the CM and the police.
