Rajahmundry- Alliance Government To Enact Special Law for Security of BCs
Kakinada: State labour minister Vasamsetty Subhash announced that the NDA government would introduce a special law to ensure the social security and welfare of backward classes (BCs). Speaking at the Settibalija Karthika Vana Samaradhana event in Amalapuram on Sunday, Subhash highlighted that Rs 39,000 crore had been allocated in the state budget for BC empowerment.
Addressing thousands of Settibalija community members, Subhash urged them to improve their socio-economic status by leveraging government schemes, fostering self-reliance, and helping other communities. He emphasised the importance of harmony and identity while discouraging dependence on others.
Subhash announced the revival of the Settibalija Action Force (SAF), an organisation he had established earlier but had become inactive. With a Rs 1 crore corpus fund, SAF would provide financial assistance to single women, empower youth, and create employment opportunities. His father, Vasamsetty Satyam, would oversee SAF’s activities.
Subhash criticised the previous YSRCP government for denying him a position despite his service to the community. He thanked Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for granting him an assembly ticket and a ministerial post after he joined the Telugu Desam.
He also promised support for Dangeti Jahnavi, an aspiring astronomer, through government aid. Several dignitaries, including MLC Kudipudi Suryanarayana Rao and civil supplies director Kadali Eswari, and others were present.
