I will be speaking about the six guarantees, till the time the government fulfilled all its promises: Akbaruddin Owaisi

Participating in the discussion on budgetry demands, the Majlis floor leader in Telangana Legislative Assembly Janab Akbaruddin Owaisi  recalled how 27 lakh Muslim students were benefitted through government scholarships alone. “It is a wonderful work done by the BRS government then. Former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao is a kind-hearted leader and did lot of welfare work for Muslims in the last 10 years,” he maintained.

He noted that during Ramzan festival, the BRS government had offered clothes and gifts to the poor and needy under “Ramzan Thofa”. But now under the Congress government, except the Chief Minister’s Iftar party, nothing is being offered to the Muslims, he rued.

The Majlis floor leader brought to the attention of the House on what he termed as “irregularities in identification of



beneficiaries for overseas scholarships and other schemes for SC, ST, BC and EBCs”. He charged that high income groups were enjoying the benefits at the expense of the poor. The benefits of Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme, SC, STs and minorities were not getting benefits, as the beneficiaries were to be selected by June, but how could those who do not have a ration card apply, he asked.

Akbaruddin Owaisi did not mince words in calling out the failures of the Congress government. The ruling party had promised Rs 4,000 pensions, 10 grams gold under Kalyana Lakshmi programme, and Minority Declaration etc. “I will be speaking about the six guarantees, till the time the government fulfilled all its promises. We will be after the government till the 420 promises is implemented,” he asserted.
