TRS renaming scheme to claim credit’


The Congress party on Saturday demanded that the government drop its move to rename SC, ST, Sub-Plan as SC, ST Special Fund. The State Legilsature had passed a Bill with regard to renaming of the scheme aimed at developing the Scheduled Castes and Tribes.


Addressing a press conference, Adilabad DCC working president Naresh Jadhav and former president C. Ramchander Reddy said the government renamed the scheme launched by Congress so that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao can claim credit for the development that takes place. The term Special Fund is added to any scheme which is in operation for a single duration unlike the SC, ST Sub-Plan, they said. The Congress leaders criticised the Chief Minister for blaming their party for the all the ills prevalent in the State. They said if Congress rule was bad, then what happened to the TRS which failed to deliver on its promises in three years of its rule.
