He said that dalits, tribal and backward classes have been getting the educational and employment opportunities due to reservation guaranteed by Constitution of India. He pointed out that Dr B R Amedkar had provided quota to dalits and BCs in the Constitution of India.

He said that Chandrasekhar Rao was real Ambedkarite as his welfare schemes meant for development of dalits have become role models for the entire country.
