BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai on Sunday alleged that the Tamil Nadu government had not implemented the provisions of Samagra Shiksha scheme in its entirety, despite agreeing to do so.
He posted on social media that the DMK government had received ₹5,858.32 crore in the last three years under the scheme. Though the State wrote to the Centre, agreeing to implement all the provisions under the scheme, it failed to do so, he alleged.
Citing media reports, Mr. Annamalai said that the School Education Department had not paid its outstanding bills, amounting to nearly ₹1.5 crore, to Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) for providing internet connectivity to government schools. As a result, many government schools in the State were likely to lose internet connectivity.
“The DMK has been spreading lies ever since it came to power. How will the people trust it? Is the DMK government, which is borrowing one lakh crore rupees annually, unable to pay the outstanding amount of ₹1.5 crore to the BSNL?…” he asked.
