Speaking on the occasion, Parnika emphasized that the Congress government is dedicated to the devel-opment of marginalized communities.

She noted that despite opposition parties creating hurdles, the government conducted a scientific caste census and enacted the reservation bill. Additionally, she praised the Congress government for address-ing the long-standing demand for SC categorization, ensuring justice for the Madiga community.

The MLA also welcomed the recently presented state budget, which allocated significant funds for vari-ous sectors, particularly women’s development. She expressed happiness that the government priori-tized women’s welfare and highlighted the Rs. 21,000 crore farm loan waiver, of which Rs. 195 crore was allocated to the Narayanpet constituency. She assured that reservations would be implemented in upcoming local body elections and job notifications.
