1.63 cr applications received for Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme

Officials said that all over Tamilnadu a total of 1.63 cr applications received for Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme. Reports say works to identify beneficiaries have begun. They will informed through SMS. Two special camps were conducted to receive applications. Meanwhile, charging that the DMK government is implementing ‘Magalir Urimai Thogai’ scheme by diverting central funds for scheduled castes/scheduled tribes welfare, BJP state president K Annamalai said that the word ‘urimai’ means ‘right’, meaning all women should get the benefits, which is far from the current reality. “The state government is diverting 1,400 crore from Centre’s funds for SC/ST welfare and this will be proven during Comptroller and Auditor General’s audit,” said Annamalai during his ‘En Mann En Makkal’ padayatra at Palayamkottai in Tirunelveli district. He said ‘Magalir Urimai Thogai’ was the biggest fraud in Indian politics.
