Jeevan Reddy said some sections of society believed that the scheme had been introduced in the wake of the imminent bypoll to Huzurabad Assembly segment. However, the Chief Minister should take a pledge on the floor of the Assembly to extend the scheme to all the Dalit families across the State.

He recalled that the Chief Minister had earlier challenged that he would not seek votes in elections if Mission Bhagiratha water was not supplied to each and every house. Similarly, he wanted Chandrashekhar Rao to now take a vow with regard to the Dalit Bandhu scheme.

The Congress MLC said there should be three Dalits in th State Cabinet going by the population percentage, and demanded that two more SC ministers be appointed in the Cabinet.
