‘Ex-CS Pradeep Chandra was victimised as he hails from SC community’
Questioning the integrity of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s claims of empowering dalits, BJP leader and former Minister Eatala Rajender on Wednesday sought to know why not a single dalit IAS officer is not posted in the Chief Minister’s Office. Addressing a press conference here, Mr. Rajender ridiculed Mr. Rao’s new dalit empowerment schemes of providing financial assistance to Dalits. “Can Mr. Rao explain in past seven years of his stint Chief Minister as to how many dalit students were extended financial assistance?”, the former Minister questioned. Mr. Rajender wanted the government to explain how many Dalits are there in the State and how many of them had applied for financial assistance for different purposes. He alleged that Mr. Rao had not given adequate opportunity to former Chief Secretary K. Pradeep Chandra, who belongs to SC community, to render services to the State.More Related News
