Dalits to form new party Dowlaiswaram, Oct. 20: Mala Mahanadu is to come up with a new political outfit called 'Dalit Congress party of India' with the sole aim of assuming power to realise the rights of the dalits by 2009. Mala Mahanadu president Karem Sivaji announced his plan of action for setting up the political outfit to newsmen here on Saturday. As per his plan, a meeting is scheduled to be held in Kurnool on October 25 where nearly two lakh people belonging to Mala community were expected to take part. The meeting is called Mala Pulibiddala Athmagaurava Mahasabha. He hinted that the BC unions were fed up with Kammas and Reddys who were enjoying power and were working out ways and means to join Kapu unions to wage a united fight even by joining a third alternative to assume political power. Referring to the Usha Mehra Commission report, Mr Sivaji said that the report was going in favour of Madigas with regard to the proposed legislation of SC sub quota. He said that with this development, they were quitting Congress and floating a new political outfit to assume power and provide rights to the Dalits. Mala Mahanadu president Sivaji was critical of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy and TD supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu for doing nothing to improve the lot of the dalits and challenged that if they were given power even for one day, they would confiscate illegal properties of both the leaders in one hour and give one kg of gold to all the poor in the State. He found fault with the Congress government over the proposed move of increasing RTC bus fares while letting off Madiga Dandora activists who destroyed 114 buses in the State.
