The Left parties condemned the social boycott of Dalits at Mallam in Pithapuram constituency of Kakinada district. The parties also demanded that Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan visit the village and take steps to protect the Dalits.
In a statement on Monday (April 21), Communist Party of India (CPI) State secretary K. Ramakrishna described the social boycott imposed by local landlords on Dalit families at Mallam as inhuman and deplorable. Not only was compensation denied to the family of the young Dalit man who died due to electrocution, but the landlords also went ahead and imposed a social boycott on the grieving family—a deeply condemnable act, he said, adding, “In a civilised society, such social evils and practices are unacceptable and shameful.”
