Telangana - Lambada leaders burn effigy of Adilabad MP Bapu Rao
Swamy Naik, Vasu Naik, Dr. Lakshminarayana Naik, and other tpcc members took part in the dharna. Additionally, they called for bapu Rao to be expelled from the bjp and voiced fear that doing nothing will allow telangana to end up like Manipur. According to reports, bapu Rao called the Lambadi tribes "thieves and beggars" and advocated their removal from the scheduled tribes (ST) list. There are about 40 lakh Lambadas in Telangana.
Detractors of Bandi believed that when he was ousted from his position as State president, prime minister Narendra Modi would accept him into his cabinet and limit him to his ministry and district. But they were unprepared for Sanjay's appointment as general secretary, and now they are acting to defend their interests. They also presented a document asking for action against bapu Rao for his anti-Lambada attitude during a meeting with union minister G Kishan Reddy.
