Minorities Bandhu Scheme Is “Farce” An Attempt To Deceive Poor Minorities Community: Shabbir Ali

Hyderabad, July 25 (Maxim News):  Congress Senior leader and TPCC Political Affairs Committee (PAC) Convener Mohammed Ali Shabbir criticized the BRS government’s proposed “Minorities Bandhu” scheme, calling it a “farce” and an attempt to deceive the poor jobless youth belonging to the minority community.  

In a statement, Shabbir Ali said the BRS Govt has done nothing for the jobless youth of minority communities in Telangana.  He pointed out that in 2015-16, more than 1.53 lakh jobless youth applied for loans when Telangana State Minorities Finance Corporation called for applications.  However, their applications were discarded and no applications were even sought for the next seven years.  Recently, when the TSMFC invited fresh applications, again more than 2.20 lakh jobless youth applied for it.  However, these applications too remained unprocessed. 

He said that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao deceived the minorities using delay tactics.  First, a meager amount of Rs. 50 crore was allocated and when Congress protested, another Rs. 70 crore was added.  However, even this amount is not enough to benefit all the jobless youth who have applied for loans.  To cover up this failure, KCR came up with a fresh idea of launching the “Minority Bandhu” scheme to provide Rs. 1 lakh financial assistance to the Minority communities with a 100 percent subsidy, he alleged.
