TRS promises to dalits, tribals have remained samples: Revanth
The Hindu
‘Scheme samples are given before elections to attract voters, and forgotten later’
“Show me one promise that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has fulfilled for dalits and girijans since he came to power, and all that he had done is to take them for a ride,” claimed Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy while explaining the reason for launching the Dalita Girijana Dandora from Indervelli on August 9. Promises of first dalit Chief Minister in Telangana, three acres land to dalits, 12% reservations to girijans, development fund of ₹10,000 crore to dalits and ₹50,000 crore to STs promised in the TRS manifesto, and job recruitment for SCs and STs were all yet to be honoured, he said. Similarly, double bedroom houses, ₹10,000 support before the GHMC elections, job notifications before the Graduate MLC polls, and hordes of assurances given before the Dubbaka and Nagarjunasagar bypolls were all forgotten once the elections were over.More Related News
