The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) delegation arrived in New Delhi on Tuesday with the agenda of advocating for Scheduled Caste (SC) status for Dalit Christians. This initiative seeks to gain the backing of the Justice K. Balakrishnan Commission, which holds jurisdiction in these matters.
Prominent figures in the delegation include Rajya Sabha Deputy Floor Leader Vaddiraju Ravichandra and former minister Koppula Eshwar. Their visit follows a recent meeting by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) with the Commission’s chairperson, where they submitted a detailed plea seeking SC inclusion for Christian Dalits.
In a compelling letter, YSRCP MP Maddila Gurumoorthy emphasized the constitutional principles of equality and non-discrimination, urging Justice Balakrishnan to recognize the similarity of social and economic struggles faced by Dalit Christians, akin to other SC groups. The appeal highlights ongoing resolutions, such as the support from former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
