HYDERABAD: The BJP on Thursday demanded that the TRS government pass legislation to legalise the ‘Dalit Bandhu’ scheme.
Addressing the media, state vice president NVSS Prabhakar said that the TRS government should immediately hold assembly and council sessions to review in detail the mechanisms and guidelines of the scheme.
Demanding that the scheme be implemented throughout the state, he said chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao should prove his commitment to the initiative by making this scheme for Dalits legally binding.
“It is now up to him to convince people particularly while the state’s finances are in disarray that he is committed for the welfare of marginalised sections by implementing the ‘Dalit Bandhu’ scheme,” he said. He, however, asked KCR to also explain why the state has not executed its earlier plan to give three acres to each Dalit family.
Prabhakar said that it was not the pandemic but the policy failure of TRS government which has affected the state finances. “The state government has been unable to implement many other schemes and is also not paying government employees salaries in time,” he alleged.
Demanding that the scheme be implemented throughout the state, he said CM should prove his commitment to the initiative by making this scheme legally binding
