Gurana Ayyalu, a senior leader of the Jana Sena Party (JSP), accused the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) government in Andhra Pradesh of doing maximum injustice to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Tribes (ST) by diverting funds from SC and ST sub-plans. He alleged that the government was targeting the SC and ST votes with initiatives like installing the tallest B. R. Ambedkar statue in Vijayawada while neglecting the welfare schemes for these communities. Ayyalu emphasized the need for implementing policies that uplift these sections, rather than symbolic gestures like idol installations.
