BJP's national OBC morcha president K. Laxman said on Thursday that neither social justice nor development schemes benefitted the weaker sections in Telangana ever since its formation.
Addressing the TS Other Backward Classes (OBC) leaders at the party office, he pointed out that the Modi government had 27 people from among the BCs in the Cabinet whereas there are just three in TS. And, to add ‘insult to injury’ the TS government has been way behind in ensuring welfare schemes or employment opportunities reach the needy, he charged.
In this context, Mr. Laxman compared the performance of "double engine" government of Uttar Pradesh led by Yogi Adityanath with TS government, stating that 86 lakh farmers got ₹36,000 crore loan waiver, 4.5 lakh youth were providing employment and another two crore through the small and medium scale firms.
