In memory of Ambedkar, Rao said that the Chief Minister has decided to build the tallest Ambedkar statue at Tank Bund in Hyderabad.

With an aim to give political opportunities to SC and ST women, the Minister said his government has provided reservations to SC and ST women in market committee elections in Telangana.

Hailing Dr BR Ambedkar as a visionary and Messiah of the backward classes in India, Rao said Dr Ambedkar had provided the right to vote for all sections, besides framing the best political administration system in the world.

Since Ambedkar had underlined the importance of the farming of smaller States, the Minister, who played a vital role in the 14-year long Telangana movement, said that his observations paved the way for Telangana’s formation too.
