Teenmár Mallanna Must Decide Whether He Belongs to Our Party or Not: Minister Seethakka
Telangana Minister Seethakka expressed strong displeasure over her party's MLC Teenmár Mallanna. She stated that Mallanna must decide whether he belongs to the party or not. Seethakka emphasized that the party worked hard to secure his victory in the MLC elections, and as a member, he should adhere to the party’s stance.
She advised that if Mallanna wished to raise any concerns, he should do so in party meetings rather than acting independently. "If he has any doubts, he should come forward and question them directly," she added.
Seethakka condemned the act of setting fire to the caste census report, calling it a disgraceful act. She expressed deep concern over the incident, referring to a viral video showing Teenmár Mallanna burning the report. Mallanna had alleged that the caste census was riddled with errors and criticized the government, claiming that it lacked a genuine commitment to justice for backward classes (BCs).
Responding to criticisms from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders regarding the caste census, Seethakka countered their claims. She pointed out that BRS leaders Talasani Srinivas Yadav and Padma Rao did not participate in the caste census. "Those who were not part of the survey have no moral right to comment on it," she asserted.
Seethakka further emphasized that the Congress government in Telangana was the first in the country to conduct a caste census, calling it a pioneering effort that could serve as a model for the nation.
