Play on Ambedkar to be staged in districts

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: Chief Minister K. Rosaiah has said that life of Dr. B.R.
Ambedkar is a message against the social evil of discrimination in the
name of caste.

Speaking after watching 'Rajagruha Pravesham', a stage play based on
the life of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, particularly his fight against social
discrimination, enacted in Ravindra Bharati here on Monday night, he
said the State government was committed for the welfare of Dalits and
downtrodden sections. There could be some delay in implementing some
schemes due to shortage of funds, but no scheme would be discontinued.
He complimented the performance by 80-odd artistes of Spandana Theatre
and said several scenes in the play had rekindled his experiences
about some discrimination in village life.

He specially congratulated Bovvada Venkat who played the role of
Ambedkar with near perfection. "I was not fortunate to see Ambedkar,
but the actor has made me believe that Ambedkar would definitely have
been like the role he played," Mr. Rosaiah said.

The Chief Minister assured the writer and director of the play
Patibandla Ananda Rao that he would direct the Cultural Department to
arrange at least one performance of the play in every district and
also make it a regular feature in the theatre festivals .
