Members of the Rajaka community staged a protest at the Gandhi statue near the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation office in Visakhapatnam on Monday demanding inclusion of the community in the Scheduled Castes list.

Organised by the Andhra Pradesh Rajaka SC Sadhana Core Committee, the protesters urged the government to fulfil the promises made by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu before the elections. The committee said Rajakas figure in the SC list in 18 States and three Union Territories.
