The Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development, Errabelli Dayakar Rao, gave a car to singers Pastham Mogilaiah and his wife Komuramma under the Dalit Bandhu scheme in Warangal on Wednesday. The scheme aims to help empower the Dalits and ensure their livelihood. The KCR Government is dedicated to supporting the Dalits, said Errabelli.
The government plans to extend coverage of the Dalit Bandhu scheme to all Dalit families in the state within three years. This is a unique scheme that no other state in the country has considered, according to Errabelli, who praised Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
The Mogilaiah couple became well-known for their song in the Balagam movie. Mogilaiah is suffering from kidney failure, and the government is covering his medical expenses. Mogilaiah’s son Sudarshan, who works as a driver, will now own a car and use it for his livelihood. The Mogilaiah couple expressed their gratitude to the Chief Minister for his support during their financial difficulties.
Several political figures attended the event, including TS Planning Commission Vice-Chairman Boinpally Vinod Kumar, Narsampet MLA Peddi Sudarshan Reddy, Wardhannapet MLA Aroori Ramesh, Beda Budaga Jangala JACT Chairman T Jagadeeshwar, Vice-Chairman Chintala Yadagiri, Chintala Dasaratham, V Narasimhulu, T Ramadasu, P Madhu, Gopal, and Bikshapathi.
