A meeting of Backward Classes ministers, legislators, and senior leaders was held on Saturday at the Hyderabad residence of Transport and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, The Hindu reports. Attendees included Konda Surekha, Vakiti Srihari, and several BC MLAs. TPCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud and MLA Danam Nagender joined online.
The leaders discussed finalising dates for the inauguration of statues of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule installed near HMDA Grounds. They also deliberated on unveiling a statue of Sardar Sarvai Papanna Goud on Tank Bund. The meeting reviewed welfare scheme delivery through the BC Welfare Department and strategies to strengthen the party’s organisational structure across the state.
Statue unveilings are fine, but notice how this meeting also reviewed welfare scheme delivery. The real test is whether Atma Gaurava Bhavans get completed and weaker sections actually see economic empowerment, not just photo opportunities. Will the next BC Welfare Department report show improved grassroots reach, or is this just another round of tokenism dressed as strategy?
