Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asserted that for his government “social justice is a firm commitment” and it has put the welfare and development of the poor, Backward Classes, SC/STs on the top priority with the various schemes attuned to benefit them the most across the country.

“We have 27 OBC ministers in the Centre for the first time after Independence. There are 85 OBC MPs, 365 OBC MLAs and 65 OBC MLCs. No other party can do it. Parties like the Congress and BRS will not allow the BCs and other weaker sections to develop or give them decision making roles,” he charged.

Addressing a ‘Self respect for BCs’ public meeting at the Lal Bahadhur Stadium at Fatehmaidan here on Tuesday, Mr. Modi affirmed that It is only BJP and the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) which has given pride of place to the BCs and other weaker sections giving several prominent posts like the President — Dr. Abdul Kalam, Ramnath Kovind and now Draupadi Murmu — Lok Sabha Speakers like GMC Balayogi and others.

He explained about providing constitutional status to National Commission for BCs, quota in the Central educational institutions and the likes. Flagship schemes like toilets construction, housing under the PMAY, Ayushman Bharat medical insurance, PM Vishwakarma Yojana and others directly benefit the BCs for them to lead a ‘life of dignity and self-respect’, he noted.

Turning his attention to the BRS, he accused the party of running an anti-development, anti-BC, anti-SC/ST government for the last nine years and cheating the people by forgetting about the main issues of — water, funds and employment — and instead focusing only on ‘one family’.

“BCs have played a big role during the separate State agitation and many had lost their lives. But, after formation of TS, the government has ignored the weaker sections. BC youth do not have jobs or skill development centres. What happened to the ₹1000 crore development fund? Not a single promise has been fulfilled by this government,” the PM pointed out.

The youth of Telangana have been particularly affected with the government becoming notorious for TS Public Service Commission (TSPSC) paper leaks destroying their future. Teachers posts have been vacant and thousands of schools have just a single teacher. Double bedroom houses promises has remained a pipe dream, so should this government be sent out or not, Mr. Modi questioned the crowd.
