Vijayamma pays tributes to Ambedkar
Hyderabad, Dec 6, 2012: YSR Congress honourary president Smt. Y. S. Vijayamma paid glorious tributes to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar on the eve of his 56th Vardhanti here on Thursday.
At a programme at the party central office, Smt. Vijayamma garlanded the photo of Dr. Ambedkar and exhorted the party leaders and activists to follow his principles. “Dr. Ambedkar wanted the SCs and STs to grow economically and socially on par with the forward castes and we shall all strive to achieve that aim,” she said in her brief speech.
Smt. Vijayamma said Dr. YSR struggled to ensure the development of SCs and STs during his regime and party president Sri Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will also follow the footsteps of YSR. She regretted that Dalits are still backward in several fields even after 65 years of independence.
