PEOPLE’S REVOLT AGAINST INDIRA GANDHI

(B. Parameshwara Rao, Hyderabad) The recent Assembly elections have proved that dalits are the deciding forces of the fate of leaders, political parties and the nation. The All- India Ambedkarities Conference and Republican Party of India have extended their support to N.T. Rama Rao to disturb the “monopoly of power”. Indira Gandhi has fooled the poor by getting elected by their support but helping the high castes. Her cabinet is full of Brahmins, with nominal representation to SCs, STs. BCs and minorities. The same case with State Govts. The lone dalit Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Jagannatha Pahadia, and BC Chief Minister of AP, T. Anjaiah, were re- moved like house servants. The same story is in the case of Governors, Ambassadors and other high offices. Her party has hurt crores of dalits by its opposition . to renaming the Marathwada University after of Dr. Ambedkar. Those elections have proved that the dalits are conscious of their power. They boldly elected the first Chief Minister from a Khamma com- munity defeating all the gimmicks of Mrs. Gandhi and crushing the traditional hold of the Reddys and Brahmins in AP. This is a trend-setter for the comming political revolution in India. NTR’s visit to Kuppam, his friendly relations with Ambedkarties and the distribution of portfolios in his Cabinet proves that he will capture dalits totally. The Karnataka Backward Classes want their leader Bangarappa to get the share in the power. Only 20% of SCs in AP have voted in anger against Indira Gandhi. They may go back to her if NTR disappoints them. The delegate Session of AlAC is meeting at Agra in April.
