Fatehgarh Sahib : Congress MLA Kuljit Singh Nagra has alleged that the SAD-BJP government, which claims to be well-wisher of Dalits, was working against the interests of the community as it had denied scholarships to 11,127 SC students in the state during the financial year 2015-16.
Nagra said he had submitted a questionnaire in the Assembly seeking information as to how many SC students got scholarships during 2015-16.
He said the state government in its reply had stated that 100 per cent students from Classes IX and X got scholarships under the Centrally sponsored scheme out of which 200 students were yet to get the benefits.
