BSY accuses govt of using SC funds for farm loan waiver
Haveri/Hosadurga, : State BJP president B S Yeddyurappa, on Thursday, accused the government of utilising Rs 929.41 crore meant for the welfare of Scheduled Castes (SC) to fund farm loan waiver.
He called upon the BJP cadre to launch an agitation against the state government. The former chief minister was addressing a rally of SC communities in the city.
Launching a diatribe against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, he addressed the latter in the singular and demanded that the chief minister should bring out a White Paper on the use of SC funds.
Yeddyurappa termed the Congress government as 50% commission government, much more than the 10% commission as charged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing a rally at Hosadurga in Chitradurga district, he said Siddaramaiah was creating a situation favourable for murders, rape, corruption and divisions among castes and faiths.
He said the BJP would give back self-respect to people of all faiths if it it comes to power in the coming Assembly elections. It would grant Rs 1 lakh crore for irrigation projects.
Yeddyurappa said 16 lakh Bhagyalakshmi bonds had been distributed to girls during the BJP regime. The number came down to 8 lakh during the Congress rule, the former chief minister said.
