Andhra Pradesh Government Prioritizes Tribal Rights Following Supreme Court Ruling
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu emphasized that protecting tribal rights and welfare remains a top government priority. He addressed the Supreme Court's 2020 ruling that struck down G.O. No. 3, which had reserved government jobs for local Scheduled Tribe candidates. Naidu criticized the previous government for not defending the order effectively and stated that the current administration is exploring legal options and consulting tribal organizations to safeguard their interests within the constitutional framework. The government also assured no decisions would undermine tribal rights, including on land and mining issues.
