SAD-BSP alliance govt if comes to power in 2022, will implement Kanshi Ram Pendu Vikas Scheme : Sukhbir

Jalandhar, Oct 9 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday said that SAD-BSP alliance would implement the Kanshi Ram Pendu Vikas Scheme once voted to power in 2022 Punjab State Assembly polls under which all villages with fifty per cent scheduled caste population would be given a special grant of Rs 50 lakh for development works.
The SAD President, who addressed a rally here to pay tribute to Babu Kanshi Ram on his fifteenth death anniversary, said this scheme would serve as a boon for the scheduled caste population as the special grant would expedite water and drainage projects besides street lights and pavements in villages. “This will be a precursor to turning these villages into model villages”, he added.
