BJP to complain to Governor and approach court against forming committees of Congress workers to monitor guarantee schemes

The Opposition BJP has decided to complain to the Governor and also approach the court against the Congress government’s decision to form committees of party workers to monitor the implementation of guarantee schemes.

BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra accused the Congress government of trying to “misuse tax payers’ money” for paying Congress workers.

Speaking to the media, he said: “The government thinks hundred times before announcing drought relief for farmers. Though we have an experienced Chief Minister who has presented 14 Budgets, the financial condition of the State has deteriorated. They are finding it difficult even to pay the salaries of the government staff. They do not have money for Legislators’ Area Development Scheme or increasing the honorarium of anganwadi workers. In such a situation, how can they think of using tax payers’ money for paying Congress workers?”
