BJP warns of State-wide stir if ‘diverted’ Dalit welfare funds are not restored

Bharatiya Janata Party Basavaraj Bommai

BJP leader and former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday warned the Congress government of launching a State-wide stir by the party if it did not restore the funds allegedly diverted from the SCSP/TSP for guarantee schemes. 

Addressing a protest meeting of BJP at Freedom Park in Bengaluru against the alleged diversion of funds meant for Dalit welfare to the implementation of guarantee schemes, Mr. Bommai alleged that the Congress government had deceived Dalits by taking away the funds. “When the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister had visited Dalit settlements before the polls to issue guarantee cards, they should have told them about their plans to divert the funds,” he remarked.
