(Look at the map given above)

Please look at the following map. It shows presence of ex criminal tribes district wise in united AP between 1956 and 1962. It's a fact that Vadders exceed other criminal tribes both in numbers and spatial distribution in AP. Even then the rulers of that time have done grave injustice to us by  excluding Vadders and including rest of the criminal tribes of AP into ST. Hence, myself and the Vadderla ST Sadhana Samiti established by me, will fight for our just ST demand, enlightening this backward caste in the process.
