BJP hijacks launch of Central schemes
The launch event of three Central schemes on Saturday was literally turned into the function of Bharatiya Janata Party with the ruling party workers and leaders being the sole participants.
Union HRD Minister Smriti Zubin Irani launched the Pradhan Mantri Suraksh Bima Yojana, Atal Pension Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyothi Bima Youjana. Except for Telangana Finance Minister Eatala Rajender, no other public representative attended the event. However, all BJP legislators and even the former MLA N Indirasena Reddy was invited on the dais, which was against the protocol.
The entire hall was also captured by the BJP workers and party also managed to get a few burkha-clad women belonging to minority community. The entire event was held under the direct supervision of Telangana BJP President G Kishan Reddy at a star hotel in the city.
A few officials, including Principal Secretary Finance Pradeep Chandra, SLBC Convener J Sitapathi and Bank Ombudsman Krishna Mohan, participated in the event.
