Congress MP K. Chiranjeevi has suggested that there should be a sub-plan for welfare of the BC communities.
Expressing happiness over the report the cabinet sub-committee has prepared on the welfare of the SCs and STs, he said it was a historic step that the state government was taking to prevent diversion of funds meant for the welfare of these communities. He has expressed the view that the lives of the SCs and STs would further improve, once the report was given statutory status.
He said in the same spirit, there was need for bringing a separate sub-plan for the BCs also. He has also suggested that the central and the state governments should take initiative for provision of seats for the BCs in the legislatures. (NSS)
