Hyderabad, August 17: Protesting against the Telugu Desam Party's move to support categorization of Scheduled Castes, the activists of Mala Maha Nadu on Friday tried to lay siege to NTR Trust Bhavan. However, the police foiled their attempt and arrested the activists.
Earlier, raising slogans against TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu, hundreds of Mala Maha Nadu activists tried to barge into the NTR Trust Bhavan premises. They alleged that Naidu had supported the SC categorization to split Dalit communities. The protester also indulged in a verbal duel with the police.
The Mala Maha Nadu leaders claimed that the Supreme Court has clearly stated that categorization of SCs is not possible and even constitutionally not valid, but Naidu has been making efforts to split the Dalits by announcing SC declaration. Protesters accused Naidu of supporting the SC classification in order to get political mileage. They alleged that Naidu has sensed that his party would vanish in the coming general elections if he fails to garner the support of the masses especially the Dalits.
