Guntur, April 2, 2026: The Scheduled Caste Morcha of the Bharatiya Janata Party elected its new district executive committee for Guntur at a meeting held at the party's district office on Thursday, with the exercise marking a fresh organisational push by the BJP to consolidate its outreach among Dalit communities ahead of future electoral contests.
BJP Guntur District President Cherukuru Tirupati Rao attended the event as chief guest, while National Spices Board member and senior BJP leader Kothuru Venkata Subba Rao also addressed the gathering.
New Office-Bearers
Bulla Rajarao was announced as District Vice President of the SC Morcha, along with Potarlanka Krupamani and Kolikipudi Malleswarao, who were appointed to the same position. Mahalakshmayya and Shrungarapati Venkataratnam were elected as Secretaries, while Rayapudi Yesubab and Gattupalli Abraham were named District General Secretaries.

Dr. Dara Ambedkar, District President of the SC Morcha, presided over the proceedings.
Leadership's Call to Action
Addressing the gathering, District President Cherukuru Tirupati Rao urged the newly elected office-bearers to work actively towards strengthening the party at the grassroots by ensuring that the Central Government's welfare schemes reached Scheduled Caste communities comprehensively and effectively. He called upon the Morcha to function as a bridge between the government's programmes and the intended beneficiaries.
Senior leader Kothuru Venkata Subba Rao, in his address, highlighted the range of welfare initiatives being implemented by the Central Government for the upliftment of Scheduled Caste communities. He reaffirmed the party's ideological commitment to the principle of Antyodaya — prioritising the welfare of the last person in the social order — and said the BJP remained firmly dedicated to the development of every SC family in the country.
Organisational Presence
The event was attended by a cross-section of party functionaries, including SC Morcha Incharge Enumula Nageswararao, Coastal Andhra Zonal Incharge Mekala Lakshman, District Convener Bhimineni Chandrasekhar, Charaka Kumar Goud, and District General Secretaries Bajrang Ramakrishna and Desa Satyanarayana, among others.
The election of the new committee is seen as part of the BJP's broader effort to strengthen its organisational base among Scheduled Caste voters in Guntur district, a constituency where the party has been working to expand its footprint in recent years.
