KCR targets Brahmin voters now

After the backwards, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and minorities, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has now set his eyes on wooing voters from the “upper caste” Brahmin community.

After a review meeting on the welfare of the Brahmins, the chief minister announced a plan to construct a “Brahmin Sadan” along the Outer Ring Road of Hyderabad — over an area of 4-5 hectares — as a platform for development of welfare of the community.

Apart from other facilities, the Sadan will have a hostel for students and the government will also provide scholarships to them for overseas education.

A nine-member committee was constituted to oversee the development of the Sadan.
