Congress MLA Vivek Venkatswamy is spearheading a protest by the Mala community against Telangana’s SC sub-classification policy, initiated by CM Revanth Reddy. While the Madiga community supports the decision, Malas feel sidelined. Venkatswamy, challenging his own government’s stance, has called the portrayal of Malas unfair and announced a major rally on December 1 in Hyderabad.
