Vivek Venkataswamy has urged Backward Classes (BCs) to unite and fight for their rights, citing the inspiration of Chityala Ilamma, also known as Chakali Ilamma. Ilamma's struggle against feudal domination serves as a model for the Rajaka community and other BCs, according to Minister Vivek. He has pledged his support to their demand for inclusion in the caste census and highlighted the BCs' significant presence in local body elections, urging them to achieve similar representation in larger elections.",
