Karnataka To End Shaadi Bhagya Scheme

The Karnataka govt has decided to end the Shaadi Bhagya scheme.
The scheme launched by the Congress government under which a Muslim bride would receive a one-time grant of Rs 50,000 towards marriage expenses.
Minorities welfare minister Shrimant Patil confirmed that CM BS Yediyurappa has decided to discontinue the Bidaai scheme, which has benefited more than 1 lakh couples.
“With no fresh budgetary allocation for the coming financial year, we’ll scrap the scheme,” he said.
Siddaramaiah, who launched the scheme on November 13, 2013, soon after taking over as CM, called the BJP government “anti-minority”.
