TDP’s SC Cell State general secretary, S.V. Ramana Madiga, has alleged that the YSRCP government diverted the SC sub-plan funds, which were meant for the development of downtrodden sections.
In a press release on December 31 (Sunday), he said that the government stopped giving funds to SC Welfare Corporation and 27 other schemes in the last four-and-a-half years.
“The government’s direct and low financial assistance will not change the lives of scheduled castes. They need to be made self-reliant. The then TDP government used to provide subsidies and financial assistance to start self-employment schemes. Such plans are required now,” he said.
“The TDP SC Cell will take up agitations in the district in a phased manner to highlight the injustice meted out to the scheduled castes by the YSRCP government,” he added.
