The BJP staged a protest in the city on Friday condemning what it labelled âanti-Dalit policiesâ of the State government.
It accused the Congress of diverting funds meant for projects to be implemented under Scheduled Castes Sub Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) to fulfill its guarantee schemes and depriving the vulnerable sections of society of their rightful share.
The BJP alleged that the Congress reserved funds for minorities in pursuit of its âvote-bank politicsââ but programmes meant for Dalit welfare have been divested of funds.
Funds meant for the development of schools including Minorities Morarji Desai Residential Schools have been diverted to meet the requirements of the guarantee scheme, the BJP alleged. A memorandum condemning the governmentâs policies, was submitted at the DCâs office.
