Dalits recall Sitaram Yechury visiting Karnataka village to support fight against temple entry ban

Thayamma, Padmamma, Raju, Lokesh, and many others of the village said they never anticipated that Yechury, a politician leading a national party, would visit their place, listen to their woes, and extend support. Even as local politicians, who represented them in Parliament and the State Assembly hardly visited their locality, Yechury met the villagers, despite opposition from friendly allies.
