SC/ST funds diverted for CWG: Chidambaram
NEW DELHI. Aug 31, DHNS:
The Centre on Tuesday admitted that the Delhi government had indeed
diverted the funds meant for scheduled castes and tribes welfare to
Commonwealth Games projects. Making a statement in the Rajya Sabha,
Home Minister P Chidambaram said efforts would be made to bring the
money back to the SC/ST Fund.
The Rajya Sabha had recently witnessed disruptions by members of the
Bahujan Samaj Party over the issue, which came to light through a
Right to Information application.
As per the information given by Delhi government through RTI, nearly
Rs 744.35 crore from Delhi's special component plan (SCP), meant for
improving the standard of living of the backward sections of the
community through various government schemes and programmes, was
diverted to the Games projects.
Chidambaram said that the Delhi government had received around Rs
8,000 crore for five years from 2006-7 to 2009-10, under the special
component plan.
