Consensus on SC/ST Bill needed: Kharge

He was speaking after inaugurating a Rs 1.10 crore stadium built in the memory of late Lok Sabha Speaker GMC Balayogi at Amalapuram in East Godavari district.

“There is need for development of Dalits in all fronts which require higher education. For that they must show keen interest in education and avail the schemes launched by the government for this purpose,” he said.

Kharge also appealed to all political parties to come forward to support the bill for reservations to SC and ST employees in promotions in government jobs. “Only one or two parties are supporting the legislation. It is the duty of all political parties to take initiative in passing the bill in Rajya Sabha,” he said.
