The success and effective implementation of the guarantee schemes have caused discomfort to BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and that’s why the State is being denied its rightful share of grants from the Centre, Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs and Legislation H.K. Patil has said.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Monday, Mr. Patil said that the Union government has meted out injustice to the State while allocating grants. What is even worse is that the allocated grants for tourism have not been released yet, he said.
“Guarantee schemes are being looked at with jealousy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi says giving freebies is detrimental to the nation. He, however, fails to say that it will not be detrimental when loans of the rich are waived. Is it a problem if the poor receive benefits?” he asked.
