YSR Congress demanded a probe into the growing attacks on Dalits and alleged that the incidents have surfaced ever since TDP government has come to power.

YSR Congress Party SC Cell Convener M Nagarjuna on Monday stated that the state is not handing the Dalits their due share in welfare according to the sub-plan and the numerous attacks on Dalits including Dalit officials in Andhra Pradesh should be scrutinized.

Citing examples of a Sub-Inspector committing suicide in Srikakulam district, murder of YSRCP Kurnool district SC Cell president, nine Dalits injured in attacks in Rapthadu and Tadipatri constituency, suicide of YSRC party worker Kuchipudi Gandhi in Ponnuru constituency and death of a field assistant due to harassment of TDP workers in Narsaraopet constituency, the YSRC leader said that dalits are being discriminated by TDP party.

Hence he demanded that the AP Government should order an official inquiry into the attacks on Dalits and also probe into the cases already registered.
