It was a clarion call for all the people from BC, SC, ST and minority communities to raise their voice against the lop-sided representation in politics, jobs and administration by Teenmar Mallanna in a public meeting “Telangana Rajyadhikara Samarabheri” at the Government Junior College Grounds in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district on Sunday. The programme turned into a large political show of strength for the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party led by Teenmar Mallanna.

Interspersed with cultural performances, speeches and major political announcements drew attention throughout the day. Telangana folk performances, Oggu Katha presentations, songs, dances and stage plays portraying the lives and struggles of BC communities. The cultural performances received an enthusiastic response from the audience and set the tone for the political meeting that followed.

Addressing the gathering, Teenmar Mallanna said the time had come for Telangana to witness a new political leadership representing BCs, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and minority communities. He said the party was committed to achieving political representation for backward sections and called upon people from these communities to unite under a common platform.

Mallanna devoted a significant part of his speech to what he described as the imbalance in political representation in Telangana. Presenting statistical data through a PowerPoint presentation, he said Telangana has nearly 3.54 crore people belonging to BC communities, while the Velama community has around 42,000 people and the Reddy community around 17 lakh. He argued that despite the numerical strength of BCs, the highest political offices, including the Chief Minister's post and several ministerial positions, had remained with a few dominant communities.

He further cited constituency-wise figures, stating that Gajwel has 481 Velama voters, Siddipet has 403 and Sirpur Kagaznagar has 101, yet leaders from the community had represented those constituencies. At the same time, he said communities such as the Mudirajs, with a population of around 30 lakh, had waited for decades to receive adequate political representation and ministerial opportunities.

Mallanna said the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party was working towards ensuring proportional political representation for all backward communities. According to him, the objective of the movement is to establish a governance model that reflects the demographic composition of the State.

A major announcement during the rally was the launch of "Surgical Strike 59," a political campaign that Mallanna said would challenge 59 MLAs belonging to Reddy, Velama and Kamma communities in future elections. Describing it as a state-wide political movement, he appealed to party workers to intensify organisational activities in every Assembly constituency.

To mark the beginning of the campaign, a countdown timer was displayed on the stage. Mallanna announced that in 884 days, five hours, two minutes and 43 seconds, Telangana would witness the formation of a government led by a BC Chief Minister. The announcement was greeted with cheers from party supporters.

He also stated that constituencies including Munugode, Bhuvanagiri, Nalgonda, Nirmal and Kodangal had elected leaders from dominant communities for nearly six decades. He expressed confidence that in the 2028 Assembly elections, candidates from BC communities such as Yadav, Goud, Mudiraj and Padmashali would emerge victorious from these constituencies.

Mallanna also reiterated the party's demand for 42 percent employment opportunities for BC communities. He said government recruitment should reflect the demographic strength of backward classes and emphasised that employment, education and political representation should progress together to ensure comprehensive empowerment.

The rally also witnessed several important inductions into the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party. Government doctor Dr. Bikshapathi announced his resignation from government service and formally joined the party during the meeting. Welcoming him, Mallanna said professionals and educated youth joining the movement reflected growing confidence in the party's vision.

Former Maoist leader Pittala Shankar also joined the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party during the event. Mallanna said experienced social activists and former revolutionary leaders were extending support to the movement for BC political empowerment. He also mentioned veteran former Maoist Patel Vanajamma, saying she had decided to support the party's democratic movement.

Support from Non-Resident Indians also featured prominently during the programme. Mallanna informed the gathering that NRI Venkat Maharaj had travelled from the United States to participate in the public meeting. He appealed to BC, SC and ST NRIs across the world to unite and contribute towards strengthening the movement for political representation in Telangana.

The meeting paid tributes to several prominent personalities associated with Telangana's social and cultural movements. Mallanna remembered folk singer Belli Lalitha, Konapuri Sambashivudu, Maroju Veeranna, revolutionary poet Gaddar, Chakali Ailamma and Telangana leader Konda Laxman Bapuji, describing their contributions as sources of inspiration for future generations.

A unique feature of the programme was the use of artificial intelligence technology to recreate the voices of several of these personalities. AI-generated messages were played before the audience, highlighting their ideals and commitment to social justice. The presentation received a warm response from those attending the meeting.

Mallanna also extended support to farmers of Rayagiri, assuring them that the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party would stand by them in resolving their issues. He said the party would continue to work for farmers, labourers and weaker sections while expanding its organisational network across the State.

Throughout his address, Mallanna repeatedly appealed to BCs, SCs, STs and minority communities to unite politically and strengthen the movement for greater representation in governance. He said the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party would continue its statewide campaign with the objective of securing political power for backward communities through democratic means.

Land Reforms, priority of TRP

Land reforms formed another important part of Mallanna's address. Referring to historical developments, he said that after the integration of Hyderabad State in 1948, the Nizam had issued documents intended to provide lands to BCs, SCs and STs. He alleged that the documents were later suppressed and that the lands were transferred to influential landlords.

Mallanna further alleged that former Revenue Minister Konda Venkata Ranga Reddy had prevented those land records from benefiting weaker sections and stated that the former minister was the grandfather of Chevella MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy.

Referring to former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao, Mallanna said the Land Ceiling Act introduced during his tenure had faced resistance from influential sections. He added that Mudiraj leader Jagannatha Rao had played a key role in ensuring the legislation was passed. He announced that the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party would amend the Land Ceiling Act if voted to power and redistribute surplus lands, poramboke lands and inam lands among poor and landless families.

He said land reforms would remain one of the party's key priorities and added that restoring land rights to weaker sections would contribute to social and economic justice.
