"dalit-bandhu"

Despite tall promises of supporting Dalits, the Congress govt has failed to even respond to Dalit Bandhu applications that have remained pending at the SC Corporation for nearly year.

During the elections, the Congress party had promised to increase the assistance to Rs.12 lakh per beneficiary and rechristened the scheme as Ambedkar Abhaya Hastham.

It might be noted that the previous BRS government had sanctioned units under the scheme on saturation mode in Chintakani mandal in the district benefitting 3462 beneficiaries in the mandal.

In the 9 days that the Assembly met, spanning over 65.3 hours, including for one record 17 hour session till 3.15 am, speeches by 132 members and five bills passed apart from two short discussions, meaningful discussions were rare, with the Government refusing discussions even on topics like the much hyped job calendar.

The Congress government, while indulging in petty politics, should not curse or malign the State that was achieved after a long tough struggle, BRS working president KT Rama Rao.

Dalit Bandhu beneficiaries from Huzurabad constituency, who have been repeatedly making rounds to government offices for the second installment of the financial assistance under the scheme, staged the huge protest as the Prajavani programme, the public grievances programme held every Monday, was on at the Collectorate.

he beneficiaries, who were selected under the second phase of the scheme, went to the Collectorate to submit their grievance to Collector Valluru Kranthi

Dalit Bandhu beneficiaries said the new State government had reportedly issued orders to "freeze" their accounts due to lack of money

Samithi convenor Palagudu Nagarjuna said that they would intensify the agitation if Telangana government failed to ground the units sanctioned to Dalits under the second phase of Dalit Bandhu

A number of beneficiaries from various mandals of Huzurabad constituency submitted representations to the Collector Pamela Sathpaty in Prajavani

They were part of the 23 aspirants identified in a village in Yellareddypet mandal for implementation of the Dalit Bandhu scheme on pilot basis. Their dreams came true, thanks to the hand- holding support given by BRS working president and MLA KT Rama Rao

He asked the BRS’s cadre to work hard for the next five days to bring victory to the party candidates, he added.

Dayakar claimed that he was promised selection as a beneficiary under the Dalit Bandhu scheme in exchange for Rs.3 lakh, allegedly paid to Seethakka's son, Surya, through a middleman.

He reminded that even today, attacks on Dalits were being witnessed in north Indian States including Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Gujarat.

According to the study report, Dalit Bandhu has reduced the employment insecurity of households and provided additional employment opportunity as well as increased the number of working days for workers.

BRS manifesto would fulfill the aspirations of all sections of the society, said Vinod Kumar

An impressive turnout of public was seen at the Praja Ashirwada Sabhas of Pinapaka and Bhadrachalam constituencies held at Laxmipuram of Burgampad mandal for the victory of BRS candidates Rega Kantha Rao and Dr. Tellam Venkat Rao respectively.

Andole MLA Chanti Kranthi Kiran said he was available in the constituency for the public for five days a week, unlike previous MLAs who represented the constituency earlier

Dalit Bandhu scheme's primary goal is to address economic disparities among Dalit households.

MCC will not come in the way of the implementation of running programmes that are not explicitly mentioned in the directives of EC on any count and this is acknowledged widely as an issue of common knowledge for political parties.
