GONDIA: District secretary of Gondia BJP and senior member of Gondia ZP, Rajesh Chatur has alleged that the state government has discriminated in the allotment for funds for development of Dalit localities. The government has not allotted even a single pie to those localities represented by the BJP, he said.
In a press note, Chatur said that in the annual budget for the financial year 2010-11, the ZP had demanded Rs 20 crore for development of Dalit localities of eight tehsils through MS Dalit Basti Sudhar Yojana, Pune. But the state government sanctioned only Rs 2 crore against this demand.
The most ridiculous part of this decision was that the areas of allotment of this fund have not been mentioned, said Chatur. In its letter No. 56/11, dated March 30, 2011, only the names of the beneficiary Congress MLAs - Gondia Gopaldas Agrawal and Amgaon Ramratan Raut have been mentioned. The rest six tehsils have not received a single farthing. Taking a serious objection to such a discriminating attitude of the government, Chatur said it is an attempt to give credit to the MLAs of the ruling party.
Deploring the attitude of the state government, Chatur said that the fund has been allotted to ZP and the power of its allotment and utilization is vested in the ZP and whatever amount has been received, should be utilised as per the priorities of Social Welfare Department of the ZP. This issue was also raised in the recently-concluding state assembly session by BJP MLA Nanabhau Patole, he said.
