The Rajyadhikara Party is an new political party, comprising 94 castes of
Backward Classes (BC), established in 2007 inAndhra Pradesh ,India by V.G.R. Naragoni as its Founder-President.Party history
Even after India attaining Independence from the
British Raj in 1947,Andhra Pradesh state ofIndia is governed till today either byIndian National Congress , dominated by one caste (5% ofAndhra Pradesh population) ofForward Caste , or byTelugu Desam Party , dominated by another Forward Caste (3% of Andhra Pradesh population). This created a wide disparity in Socio-Economical development between Forward Caste andBackward Classes in Andhra Pradesh. Backward Classes, comprising 52% of population (consisting of 94 castes) in the Andhra Pradesh state, neither came to power by floating a political party before nor democratically elected member of Backward Classes community was allowed to become theChief Minister of Andhra Pradesh state through Indian National Congress or Telugu Desam Party party. In fact, 90% of Andhra Pradesh Backward Classes do not have any representation in eitherLegislative Assembly of Andhra Pradesh or Indian Parliament (Loksabha andRajya Sabha ). Naragoni floated a new party Rajyadhikara Party to represent 94 castes of Backward Classes to achieve political power to bring social, political, and economical developments to the backward and weaker sections of the state similar to a new political party, Mana Party, launched by another Backward Classes leader Kasani Gnaneshwar.Party aims

Backward Classes ,Scheduled Castes ,Scheduled Tribes and Minorities by claiming political power in Andhra Pradesh of India. The party will be contesting the scheduled 2009 elections inAndhra Pradesh by giving tickets to every caste of 94 castes of Backward Classes proportionate to their strength in population.References
