Balagam Singer Mogilaiah gets car under Dalit Bandhu scheme

Warangal: The KCR Government is committed to support the Dalits, Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Errabelli Dayakar Rao said. Handing over a car to singers Pastham Mogilaiah and his wife Komuramma under the Dalit Bandhu scheme here on Wednesday, Errabelli said that the aim of the BRS government is to empower the Dalits.

“The government will cover all the Dalit families in the State under the Dalit Bandhu scheme within three years to ensure their livelihood,” Errabelli said. Dalit Bandhu is one such scheme that no other State in the country had thought of, the minister said, heaping praise on the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
