Vinisha Nero, nominated member from the Anglo-Indian community in the Legislative Assembly, on Friday urged the State Government to allocate ₹200 crore in the State Budget for 2022-23 for the welfare of poor people belonging to the Christian community.
In the Budget, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai allocated ₹50 crore for the welfare of the Christian community.
Speaking on the budgetary allocations to various departments, Ms. Nero took exception to some Bills, including the anti-conversion Bill, passed by the State Government and said the Christian community had been rendering non-religious services in the fields of education and health sectors for many centuries.
