The Congress Government will wind up the welfare schemes, which it had initiated as part of the six guarantees after coming to power, once the Parliament elections are over, alleged BJP Rajya Sabha MP and national OBC president K. Laxman.
Addressing a press conference at the party office on Wednesday, the BJP leader claimed that the government had started schemes by leaving out eligible beneficiaries by putting conditions which were not mentioned when they were announced before the elections.
The government is implementing some of the schemes just for namesake only. There is no mention about when it intends to begin the ₹2,500 per month Mahalakshmi scheme for women or enhanced financial assistance of ₹15,000 to farmers and ₹12,000 to tenant farmers. Power bill waiver up to 200 units has a rider, where even one unit consumed more makes it infructuous, he said.
