Shameful that Bhagwant Mann led AAP government failed to release 62.5% amount of Post Matric Scholarship Scheme for SC Student : SAD
Out of total outlay of Rs. 245 crore only Rs. 92 crore has been released, admits government : Dr Cheema
Chandigarh 30 December ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Shiromani Akali Dal lashed out at Bhagwant Mann led AAP government for failing to release 62.5% of the amount meant for Post Matric Scholarship Scheme for SC students even as party said that only Rs. 92 crores out of total Rs 245 crores has been released till date. In a statement released here today Senior SAD leader and Former Education Minister Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said that the AAP led Punjab Govt has admitted in its full page advertisements issued in different news papers today that so for in the year 2024-25 it has released only 37.5% of the Post Matric Scholarship Scheme for SC students and has failed to release remaining 62.5% amount under the scheme. He said that it is very clear from the figures published in the advertisements that out of the total Rs 245 Cr allocated for 2024-25, only Rs 92 Cr has been released. He said that with this dismal performance the state government should have tendered an unconditional apology to SC students that even after a lapse of nine months it could release only 37.5 %. But instead it is issuing full page advertisements. He further said that if you have so much money for advertising, it would be better to release 100% of money earmarked for the year. He also said that in addition, there is no clear mention of dates of release of amount pending from 2016-2020. He said that through fake and bogus advertisements, this AAP government is trying to mislead Punjabis particularly SC community who is at the receiving end ever since this government has taken over the state. Dr. Cheema urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to stop taking orders from Delhi and instead start working for welfare of Punjab and Punjabis as they have given him mandate to run Punjab and not to Arvind Kejriwal who is bleeding Punjab of its resources. He said that history will never forgive him.EOM
