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.
