Charging the Jharkhand Government with not doing enough for the weaver community, which is predominantly Muslim, Manzoor Ahmad Ansari, the All India Momin Conference chief, has said the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-Congress coalition should not take the community’s votes for granted.
Mr. Ansari made these comments in the presence of senior State Congress leaders and Cabinet Ministers at an event organised by the Chotanagpur Regional Handloom Weavers Cooperative Union in Ranchi on Monday.
“The previous State budget had a provision of ₹10 crore in the form of subsidies for the weavers. However, ₹8.32 crore of this amount was not utilised. Moreover, the process through which community members can avail of subsidies has been made more complicated,” Mr. Ansari said.
