BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan questions Congress over absence of social justice in apex committees

Castigates ruling party for betraying its own Udaipur Declaration, criticises composition of committees approved by AICC and announced by Congress leader KC Venugopal

Hyderabad: BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan questioned the Congress leadership over the absence of social justice in the newly constituted apex committees.

He castigated the ruling party for betraying its own Udaipur Declaration and making a mockery of social justice. He called out the Congress’ hypocrisy for demanding social justice, but denying these communities a set at the decision-making table.

Criticising the composition of the committees approved by the AICC and announced by Congress leader KC Venugopal, Sravan said they are “elite-heavy, feudal-dominated and structured to preserve the status quo,” with deliberate exclusion of OBCs, SCs, STs, minorities and women who form the backbone of the nation. “Where is the spirit of ‘Jitni Abadi, Utna Haq‘ that Rahul Gandhi projected as the foundation of India’s second social revolution?” he asked.

He stated that marginalised communities have been systematically denied true political empowerment. He pointed out that women were denied their rightful space, despite the party’s public posturing on gender justice.

The BRS legislator condemned the Congress for appointing senior leaders who already held constitutional posts, including the State Finance and Agriculture Commissions, to key party roles. He termed these actions in violation of party ethics and discipline. Stating that the caste census was never just about that, but about dignity and representation, he wondered, “What message does this send to crores of OBCs, Dalits, Adivasis and minorities who believed in the Congress’ promise?”

Sravan said while the Udaipur Declaration promised decentralisation, diversity and democratisation, the Congress delivered centralised betrayal, denial of dignity and insult to the Bahujan dream. He demanded that the Congress restructure its internal leadership to reflect genuine diversity and uphold the principles it claims to champion.
