Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will today hold a day-long all-party meeting in Hyderabad to prepare guidelines for the CM Dalit Empowerment Scheme.
KCR who met Congress leader earlier over the police excesses has now called the all-party leaders for a meeting. It looks like KCR is changing and wants to be in the people apart from taking the leaders of all parties into confidence.
Several Dalit public representatives, Dalit lawmakers and legislators from all political parties, including the opposition AIMIM, Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), are likely to participate in the proposed meeting from 11.30 am at Pragati Bhavan.
K Chandrashekhar Rao or KCR, as he is known popularly, called CPI(M) and CPI party’s state secretaries Chada Venkat Reddy and Tammineni Veerabhadram to ask them to send their senior Dalit leaders to the meeting. State chief secretary Somesh Kumar, officials from the chief minister’s office and other senior officials will also participate.
In the newly formed Telangana State, the Telangana government is working for the welfare of Dalits in all sectors. In the back-drop, the proposed meeting would discuss at length the qualitative development change that the government can bring in and what measures can be taken to achieve this would be discussed at the meeting,” the chief minister’s office stated.
