Gadwal: The Supreme Court's recent verdict granting states the authority on Scheduled Caste (SC) classification has been met with widespread acclaim, particularly within the Madiga community. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy received heartfelt thanks for his unwavering support of the Madigas.

Reflecting on the Congress Party's historical efforts, Dr. Sampath Kumar highlighted the establishment of the Kusumaiah Commission, which was formed to find a permanent solution to the classification issue. The commission thoroughly examined the status and classification results of the Madigas and submitted its report to the central government.
During the last assembly elections, Dr. Sampath Kumar championed the cause of the Madigas, urging the state government to exert pressure on the central government for resolving the classification issue. At that time, Revanth Reddy, who was then a fellow legislator, stood in solidarity with Dr. Sampath Kumar.
