Govts hasn’t protected oppressed class: Ex-MLC

The speaker, a state representative from a Scheduled Caste community, lamented that despite being independent for many years, the people in that community have not seen any real development. He also accused a powerful community of being responsible for the community's lack of progress, and said that the government has failed to protect the community. The speaker also mentioned that there are other communities that have been left behind in the development process, and that capitalism has only benefited the wealthy. Finally, a retired professor from a university said that the government should focus on development rather than votes, and that the banks are not lending to the poor.
