KCR's long-list of promises made to dalits, tribals and minorities are pending: Aamer Javeed

HYDERABAD: Newly appointed senior vice-president of Telangana Congress Aamer Javeed on Friday sought to remind chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao that the long-list of promises made by the ruling TRS to the Dalits, Tribals and minority communities are pending implementation.
“It was in April 2017 that the Telangana state Assembly passed resolutions increasing reservations for STs from present 6.5% to 9.8% and that of Muslims from 4% (being given under BC-E quota) to 12%. These two promises remain unfulfilled till date,” said Aamer Javeed.
Neither the promise of making a Dalit as the chief minister nor distribution of three acres agriculture land to landless Dalit families or the construction of two mosques and a temple in the old Secretariat complex have been implemented so far.
The Congress leader sought to know from CM KCR and the ruling TRS the reasons for the delay in taking the prestigious Metro Rail project to Hyderabad’s old city. “The infrastructure development in the old city has come to an almost standstill. Even the promise of giving judicial powers to the Telangana State Wakf Board remains unfulfilled till date,” Aamer Javeed said.
He also charged the TRS government of having turned a blind eye to Eatala Rajender’s controversial land dealings until CM KCR decided to oust him. “Dalits, Tribals, Muslims, backward classes and weaker sections feel betrayed in the new state of Telangana. Only the Congress can fulfil the aspirations of the people of Telangana,” Aamer Javeed said while exuding confidence of Congress being voted to power in 2023-elections.
