Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has demanded that the Central Government should implement a scheme similar to Dalit Bandhu, being implemented in Telangana, across the country, to uplift the Dalit communities.
Minister for SC Development Koppula Eshwar and legislators M. Anand, K. Chander and L. Ramana said here on Sunday that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao was the only leader in the country doing justice to Dalits.
The Dalit Bandhu scheme had already benefited 32,000 families with financial assistance of ₹3,249 crore for improving their livelihoods and ensuring that they take up economic activities of their choice.
