today demanded that both the Congress and the BJP allot at-least 15 tickets for its candidates for the forthcoming
assembly polls.
The 25-lakh strong Nayak community in the state was a neglected lot in the society, its state president Bhanwar Lal told a press conference here.
Nayak tribals, who lived and behaved like heroes in the history, were now ‘neglected and low profile’ community under the scheduled caste category with other castes, he said, adding hence they were not getting even the minimum benefits of job reservation due to other power communities pressures under SCs.
Nayak tribals were misunderstood people by politicians as some governments had put them SC, scheduled tribe or even in OBC category due to sheer negligence, he said.
Demanding shifting of Nayak tribals from the SC to ST category, he said the Nayaks needed a political patronage by any strong party regardless of the BJP or the Congress.
This tribe should be on par with the Garacia and Bheel castes in the ST category, he demanded.
He blamed that a few NGOs were misusing the people of this caste for their vested interests, but not even a one per cent of these were getting any importance in the society dominated by the super castes like Jats, Rajput, and Meena.
He announced that his Mahasabha would hold a state level convention of Nayak tribes on the eve of assembly polls to put pressure on the major political parties.
