Union Minister of Coal, Mines and Parliamentary Affairs Prahlad Joshi has alleged that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government in the State has been publicising several Central Government schemes as its own with little or no contribution.
Citing an example of rice distributed to the below poverty line families under the public distribution system (PDS) he said 85% of funds for the scheme was being borne by the Centre and 15% by the State and even that 15% was being added by recycling the rice quota given by the Centre. “The labour is of Mod (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) and label is of KCR (Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao)”, Mr. Joshi said at Serilingampally here on Friday.
Visiting the Assembly constituency which forms part of Chevella Lok Sabha Constituency as part of the Parliament Pravas Yojana, the Union Minister said the State Government was not implementing several Central schemes such as PMAY, PMFBY and many others although they were useful to people. He alleged that the money being provided under PMAY was being diverted somewhere.
