The government’s proposed ‘Minorities Bandhu’ scheme has been called a ‘farce’ by senior Congress leader and former minister Mohd Shabbir Ali. He believes that the scheme is an attempt to deceive jobless youth from the minority community and cover up the government’s failure in implementing TS Minorities Finance Corporation (TSMFC) schemes.
Shabbir Ali criticized the government for its failure in implementing the TSMFC schemes, pointing out that there was no clarity on the total amount to be disbursed and the deadline for completing the process. He highlighted that in 2015-16, over 1.53 lakh jobless youth applied for loans through TSMFC, but their applications were discarded. No applications were even sought for the next seven years. Recently, when TSMFC invited applications again, over 2.2 lakh jobless youth applied, but their applications remained unprocessed.
Shabbir Ali accused CM KCR of deceiving the minorities through delaying tactics.
