HYDERABAD: Asking whether the Rs 1 lakh financial assistance for BC artisans approved by the Cabinet was alms, BJP leader Dr Boora Narsaiah Goud on Friday demanded Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to give, by the end of July, Rs 10 lakh to each of 7 lakh BC families across the State, which would come to a total of Rs 69,415 crore.
Addressing the media at the BJP party office in Nampally, he alleged that it was only after BJP’s BC Sammelan on Thursday that KCR tried to do some damage control by announcing sops for BCs. Dr Goud also said that the State government was trying to mislead the people on repealing GO 111 as the matter was sub-judice.
Dalits’ lands being snatched away, alleges Bandi
Meanwhile, in a letter to the Chief Minister, BJP State president Bandi Sanjay warned that the saffron party will launch a massive agitation if the State government didn’t stop what he claimed was real estate business by taking away assigned lands from Dalits and tribals.
Criticising the State government for not implementing the Land Purchase Scheme (LPS) which was supposed to distribute three acres of land to Dalits across the State, he said that taking away the lands they were cultivating amounted to snatching away food from their mouth.“Except giving assurances on issuing pattas for tribal podu lands, what did KCR do for its implementation?” asked Sanjay.
