BJP SCs Morcha criticises State govt. for diverting SCP, TSP funds for guarantee schemes
BJP Scheduled Castes Morcha has criticised the State government for diverting funds meant for Special Component Plan and Scheduled Tribe Sub-Plan (SCP/TSP) to the guarantee schemes. State vice-president of BJP SCs Morcha Ambaraya Ashtagi, addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Thursday, said that the SCP and TSP plans were introduced for the empowerment of the oppressed sections by allocating exclusive funds in addition to the regular expenditure on various welfare schemes. The SCP-TSP schemes have been designed to empower Scheduled Castes socially, economically and educationally by providing opportunities for skill development, access to quality education and promoting social justice. But diverting these funds for the guarantee schemes has hindered the core objectives of the SCP, TSP schemes, Mr. Ashtagi said. In all, the State government has diverted ₹39,000 crore for the guarantee schemes. It has diverted ₹11,114 crore in 2023-24, ₹14,282 crore in 2024-25 and ₹11,896.84 crore in 2025-26. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah came to power in the name of AHINDA (a coalition of minorities, backward classes and Dalits) by promising to empower these communities. But he has failed to implement any concrete programmes to uplift Dalits and his decisions are depriving the rights of Scheduled Castes, Mr. Ashtagi said.
