“If the schedule is announced, the government cannot officially launch a scheme as a model behavior model will immediately apply,” said the source.
CM previously announced that the Dalita Bandhu pilot project would be launched in Huzurabad and held an orientation program for 412 Dalit from the constituency a few weeks ago.
He even faced criticism from opposition parties on the launch of the scheme in the face of Huzurabad Bypoll.
