Telangana Govt to provide financial assistance of Rs. 10 lakh to the Dalit families

• What authority does the Government have to distribute taxpayers’ money on caste basis ? If some Dalit families are financially well off, would they also receive financial assistance ?
• If the Government has excess money, it should provide basic facilities for citizens in every field. The terrible state of country’s healthcare system is evident in the current corona pandemic. The Government should use these funds for improvement of healthcare system.
• Instead of providing financial assistance to a certain community, why the Government does not provide them employment ? They can be also given low interest loans.
