Sharanappa alleges that the officials of the Women and Child Development Department did not release the amount of the scheme every time by making the excuse of technical glitch. So far he has spent around Rs 25,000 in the application process, correction of documents, online registration and repeated visits to government offices. Despite this, his wife could not get the benefit of the scheme.
Angered by the continuous neglect, Sharanappa has written a letter to the Chief Minister demanding his intervention in the entire matter. He also started protesting alone in front of the District Administration Building of Koppal. He says that he will continue to raise his voice until his wife gets the amount from the Grihalakshmi scheme.
This matter has now become a topic of discussion at the local level. Sharanappa says that the benefits of government welfare schemes should reach the needy on time. They allege that the common people are suffering the consequences of technical shortcomings and administrative negligence.
