Cong, TDP have treated BCs as vote banks

Narasarao Pet, Oct 12, 2012: YSR Congress Party Guntur district BC cell convener B.Revathi said BCs are of the view that they can flourish only under the rule of party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, she said BCs constituted more than 50 percent of the population in the state but both Congress and TDP governments have used them as vote banks only till now.

 “BCs were never given a proportionate representation on the political platforms,” she said, charging the two parties with selling the seats of Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council for crores of rupees.

In this backdrop, BCs are of the view that they will get justice only if Jagan becomes the Chief Minister, she remarked.
