UWAHATI: Independent legislator Bhuban Pegu on Sunday said the state government is not releasing funds allotted for the development of SC
and STs.
Addressing the media on Sunday, Pegu said funds haven't been released by the state government on the ground of non-utilization before every annual budget.
Pegu said the state government has been hiding the Planning Commis-sion's modifications in implementing the Schedule Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) which clearly mention that the funds are "non-divertible" and "non-lapsable".
"Every year, the planning and development department is refusing to re-lease the minimum 40 per cent of the total allotted fund for the SC and STs, saying that it has lapsed for non-utilization in time," Pegu said.
He lambasted the state government for adopting anti-poor policies. "The SCs and STs are economically backward. Instead of taking measures for their uplift, the state government is denying them their share," Pegu added.
