India, Feb. 16 -- The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday accused Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) of failing to secure the future of young people during its 15-year regime, as more people turned up to register their names for Banglar Yuva Sathi, the newly launched monthly financial assistance scheme for the state's unemployed youth.

Under the scheme, announced during the state's budget on February 5, people aged between 21 and 40 who have passed the state secondary board examination will receive a monthly assistance of Rs.1,500. The allowance will be deposited in bank accounts until the applicants get jobs or for a maximum tenure of five years. Those already covered under other schemes are not entitled to this one.
