Guntur: Release funds for BC corporations, demands BJP

Guntur: BJP OBC Morcha leaders on Monday staged a protest at the Collectorate here for “failure” of the government to release funds to 56 corporations belonging to BCs and cheating the people.

Later, they submitted a memorandum to the joint collector urging the government to release the funds to the 56 BC corporations.

Addressing the OBC Morcha leaders gathering at the Collectorate, BJP State general secretary Bitra Sivannarayana criticised the YSRCP government for “cheating” the BCs after setting up 56 corporations.

OBC Morcha district president Tullimilli Rama Krishna demanded that the Central government set up an OBC Commission.
