Baghlingampally: National coordinator of Dalita Sangharshana Samithi (DSS) Nalla Radhakrishna alleged that the BJP government at the Centre and TRS government in Telangana State has ignored the welfare of dalits.

Several schemes which were announced for the welfare of Dalits and minorities have not been properly implemented, he alleged. A body of the state DSS was formed after the meeting, he added.
The meeting, presided by the state convener of DSS PG Sudarshan, was attended by the recipient of Kendra Sahitya Academy Award Dr Gaddam Mohan Rao, general secretary of Karnataka DSS D Ramesh, AP DSS president Damodaram, general secretary of Maharashtra DSS DasharathPolimera, coconvenor of Telangana DSS Koteshwar Rao, Andhra-Telangana coordinator Mamidipalli Bapaiah, general secretary of women DSS Anjali, secretary Vanitha, Hyderabad DSS president Krishna Pujari and others.
