Mantralayam – Andhra Pradesh: Leaders of Dalit Bahujan associations on Wednesday rallied with about 100 supporters, demanding that the government allot two acres of land in Mantralayam for the construction of a Dr. B R Ambedkar building.
Rally and tribute to Ambedkar
The rally, led by Ramatirtham Amaresh, Gaddam Nagendra, Kayyon, R Sundarraju, M Job, Devadasu, Kumar, and Prabhudasu, began at Raghavendra Circle. Participants paid floral tributes to the Ambedkar statue before submitting a representation to DT Guru Raju.
Demand for two acres of land
Leaders said two acres of government land in Mantralayam Urban must be allotted, stressing that such a facility would serve as a hub for social, economic, cultural, community, and educational programs that benefit oppressed classes.
Appeal for immediate action
The leaders urged authorities to conduct a survey and expedite land allocation, pointing out that this demand reflects the long-standing sentiments of Scheduled Caste communities.
Alongside the main leadership, several representatives of local associations — including Charles, Prasanna, Shiva, Thimmappa, Prabhudasu, Anok, Ravi, Eeranna, Lakshmanna, and Raju — joined the rally with nearly 100 participants, expressing solidarity with the demand.
