Brahmana Samiti resents Agriculture Minister’s remarks

Chittoor: Sankara Brahmana Seva Samithi president Surya Prakash in city says that Agriculture Minister Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy levelled wild comments against Brahmins at the behest of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

Addressing the General Body Meeting of Chittoor Sankara Brahmana Seva Samithi held here at Greamspet on Sunday, he regretted that Chandramohan Reddy made irrelevant and irresponsible statement against the Brahmins targeting Tirumala former chief priest Ramana Deekshitulu .

He felt that it was not fair on the part of the Agriculture Minister to speak foul language against Ramana Deekshutulu. He said that Brahmins should wear black badges on Monday and attend their respective duties in the district.

State Brahmin Association Joint Secretary Ramana alleged that TDP Government was totally neglecting the Brahmin community in all respects. He charged that no purpose was served by AP Brahmin Welfare Corporation which failed to protect the interests of the Brahmins.

He demanded the TTD to construct Brahmin Kalyana Mandapams in all the districts of the state. He stressed that government should allocate at least Rs.100 cr. for Brahmin Welfare Corporation. `` Above 70 percent of Brahmin community people are living in deplorable condition.

The Government should issue the white ration cards to them as most of them are in below poverty line” he said. Murthy, Suresh, Venu Madhava and others spoke.
