Dalit Christians still being discriminated against: YS Jagan

YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy expressed concern that even 66 years after India became a republic, the spirit of constitution is still being watered down. He said the Dalit Christians are still not being given SC status on religious grounds.

Speaking after unfurling the Tricolour at the Lotus Pond office of the party on the Republic Day, YS Jagan said Ambedkar's ideals must be followed in true spirit and added that the YSRCP would always be in the forefront to bring about positive change in the society.
Greeting the people on the occasion of the Republic Day, he said the Dalits continue to remain socially and economically downtrodden.
Earlier, YS Jagan offered floral tributes to freedom fighters and national leaders. Several party MPs, MLAs, MLCs and workers were present.
