October 28, 2012 21:59

Backward classes in Andhra Pradesh have got a raw deal in today's expansion of Union Council of Ministers, Telugu Desam Chief N Chandrababu Naidu said.

"Backward classes are in large numbers in Andhra Pradesh. They (Centre) gave berth to only one backward class woman. Backward classes should have been given three or four berths. TDP has announced that it will give 100 seats to backward classes in assembly elections," he said during his ongoing 'padayatra' in Mahabubnagar district.

Naidu said his party would leave no stone unturned to turn agriculture into a profitable profession for farmers by getting them a satisfactory price for their produce.
