HYDERABAD: Former IPS-officer
RS Praveen Kumar
who joined the Bahujan Samajwadi Party (
BSP) on Sunday slammed the TRS government, claiming that hundreds of crores earned by SCs, STs, BCs, minorities and poorer sections from other communities was being spent to implement the
Dalita Bandhu
scheme.
“If the CM and TRS have real love for the downtrodden, then let them sell their personal parties and spend that money on development of bahujans,” he said at a public meeting in
Nalgonda
district.
Kumar was appointed BSP’s coordinator for Telangana following his membership. “The party has given me a huge responsibility of transforming our lives from slavery to becoming rulers. Pragathi Bhavan is not far but we need to work hard to get there,” he said.
Kumar who took voluntary retirement recently said he would work for the upliftment of weaker sections. He joined the party in the presence of BSP national coordinator, Ramji Gautam. “It is time Dalits and Bahujans strive to achieve political power,” he said. Gautam expressed confidence that the BSP will form the government in Telangna following the 2023 assembly elections.
