Though Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy promised subplan for minorities in the next budget but given the present financial status, fulfillment of his promise seems impossible. Finance minister Anam Ramnarayan Reddy and officials of finance department are said to have declared the separate sub plan for minorities as impossible. With this there is no possibility of approval of separate plan for backward classes either.
While sanctioning subplan for secluded tribes, Chief Minister had assured that separate subplan will be mulled for minorities and backward classes too in the next financial year. But according to reliable sources finance department has termed it impossible, attributing it to the financial crisis. However finance ministry has advised chief minister to satisfy these communities by increasing their annual budget and chief minister is said to be going ahead along those lines.
