Sanjay criticizes govt. for shelving BC sub-plan
The State unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded that the government take steps to implement welfare scheme for grant of ₹10-lakh assistance to Backward Classes (BCs) on the lines of Dalit Bandhu being implemented on a pilot basis.
The government should take steps to revive the BC sub-plan and ensure repayment of fee reimbursement dues to BCs. The government should stop adopting a “step-motherly” attitude towards BCs who constituted the largest chunk of population in the State, BJP state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar said.
In a detailed letter addressed to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Mr. Sanjay Kumar said that he had received several representations from BC communities, seeking implementation of scheme on the lines of Dalit Bandhu during his ongoing padayatra covering different districts. The BJP had welcomed Dalit Bandhu proposed by the government but wanted the scheme to be implemented across the State. Several representations submitted to the government in this regard went unheeded.
