Rama Rao also mocked at the BJP saying the national party is not in the race in the assembly polls. PM Modi on Saturday said the Centre would soon form a committee which would adopt all possible ways for empowering Madigas with regard to their demand for categorisation of SCs.
“Committee again means delayed justice. We have resolved in the state assembly long back with respect to SC categorisation...(if) Mr Modi is sincere then he should just implement it. He should not appoint another committee to study. Basically this shows that he is merely hoodwinking people,” Rama Rao told reporters.
“Mr Modi can try whatever he can...whatever he would like to...fact is his party is not in the race in Telangana,” Rama Rao further said. Modi had addressed a rally organised here by the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS), a community organisation of Madigas, one of the biggest constituents of the Scheduled Castes in the Telugu states.

You and we also know that a big legal process is going on in the Supreme Court. We consider your struggle to be just”.
