Puducherry,
Sep
12:
The
Puducherry
unit
of
the
Bahujan
Samaj
Party
(BSP)
will
move
the
Madras
High
Court,
if
the
state
government
continued
to
provide
poor
quality
clothes
to
Dalit
and
BPL
families
during
festivals.
BSP state President Thanga Kalaimaran, informed this at a press conference here, alleging that low quality clothes were being distributed, under the free distribution scheme, to the people during Deepavali and Pongal festivals.
Displaying some of the distributed clothes, he said the party welcomed state Welfare Minister M Kandasamy's announcement that quality polyester clothes would be supplied in future.
The party would organise massive agitations if the government backtracked from it's announcement, he warned.
