Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattareya urges BCs to unite and work towards achieving political power
Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya on Monday stressed the urgent need to address social inequalities, calling them more dangerous than economic ones. Speaking at the launch of Bahujanaganamana, a long poem by renowned Telugu poet and former Telangana Sahitya Akademi chairman Juluru Gowri Shankar, he urged Backward Classes (BCs) to unite and work towards achieving political power. The event was held at the Hyderabad Press Club. Dattatreya also noted that the Central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has decided to conduct a nationwide caste census along with the next population census — a long-standing demand of BC communities. 'This will pave the way for their political empowerment,' he said. He urged for BC ideology to be widely disseminated and said Bahujanaganamana should reach every village to help the younger generation understand its significance. Speakers praised the poem for blending philosophical depth with verse, addressing key issues like the caste census, BCs' socio-economic status and legal rights. They described it as a powerful ideological text and a 'new epic' for India, serving as a tool for empowerment and social justice. The event was presided over by former Media Academy chairman Allam Narayana. Other speakers included former High Court judge Chandrakumar, retired IAS officer Chiranjeevulu, BC Welfare Association national president Jajula Srinivas Goud, writer Jwalitha, former professor Tirumali, literary critic Sangisetty Srinivas and Hyderabad Press Club general secretary R. Ravikanth Reddy.
