Bragging by CLP leader Bhatti irks TRS leaders; posts on social media trash Bhatti
Khammam: The perceived patronisation of the Dalit Bandu scheme by Congress legislature party leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka is irritating TRS leaders of Chintakani mandal.
These leaders are trashing Bhatti's statement on the scheme on social media platforms and their criticism is going viral.
Bhatti, while participating in a meeting in Chintakani, said, “I want to implement the Dalit Bandu scheme for all the dalit families irrespective of their political affiliations. Some people are skeptical of the scheme. I will try to extend the scheme to all the dalits in the mandal.”
Bhatti also cautioned Dalits that some persons might approach them with a promise to get the scheme extended to them and seek some money for this. “Dalits should not fall into such trap, he said, adding, “As the legislator of Madhira, I have the responsibility to get the DB implemented in the mandal. Every Dalit family is eligible for the benefit under the scheme and there is no barrier to it. Officials will approach you and an amount of Rs 10 lakh will be deposited in each of your account.”
He said that the beneficiaries can select a business or trade of their choice.
The TRS leaders in Chintakani mandal raised objections over the way the Congress leader is trying to stand in the forefront of the scheme introduced by chief minister KCR. They are inserting posts on the social media groups on this matter.
A TRS leader said in one posting, “The CLP leader is patronising the scheme as if it was brought forward by the Congress party or its government and he is releasing the budget for it. The scheme will be extended to all the Dalits directly by the TRS government and without any intermediaries.”
“There is no scope for corruption in the scheme, unlike like the schemes the Congress governments had implemented in the past. Dalits are wise and know of the gimmicks of Congress leaders,” a post read.
Such postings are done at the initiative of TRS leaders like P. Pullaiah in the district.
