Hyderabad: TPCC president A Revanth Reddy on Monday demanded that the government hold a discussion on Dalit Bandhu for a day in the State Assembly and pass a resolution accordingly. “If the State government is committed to extend Rs 10 lakh assistance under Dalit Bandhu to all Dalit families in six months, we are prepared to sign on any paper,” Revanth Reddy said, addressing media persons.

All these promises have been confined to papers,” he said. “A fact-finding committee should be constituted on Mission Kakatiya to expose the irregularities in the project,” he demanded.
