KCR govt draws flak over Ambedkar statue issue

DD Colony: TPCC campaigning committee chairperson Vijayashanthi met MRPS president Manda Krishna Madiga at his house in DD Nagar to share her condolences over throwing Dr Ambedkar statue in the dumping yard.

She said that KCR did not have a good opinion of backward communities and it would be hard for them to survive under his rule. She asked whether it was crime to protest on such an issue and asked the reason for house-arrest Manda Krishna.

She demanded that the government tender an unconditional apology to Krishna for their shocking action. She further added that protests would continue till the statue of Ambedkar was restored at the same spot.
