Dalit funds not spent by TDP: Nagarjuna

The YSR Congress Party has said that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has scant respect for Dalits and the SC sub-plan figures show how the fund allocations decreased.

‘Though he held a review meeting with the SC leaders and made tall claims about their welfare, he has in reality curtailed the funds allocated to SCs and STs even as the plan outlay was increased,’ party SC Cell state president Merugu Nagarjuna told reporters on Friday.
Chandrababu Naidu, who has said that no one would be willing to take birth as a Dalit, reflected similar attitude in the budgetary allocations.
The buget allocations were not in proportion to the population of SCs and STs.
Chandrababu Naidu has been deceiving Dalits and adivasis through GOs and diversion of funds, he said.
