Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region, G. Kishan Reddy has accused the Congress Government of Telangana of delaying the issuance of new ration cards to the eligible people in the state. He said that the people of Telangana are waiting for the promised houses, ration cards and pensions, but there is no clarity on the financial commitment for these schemes.
Addressing different meetings at Ameerpet village in Ranga Reddy as part of the BJP’s ongoing countrywide campaign of interacting with the villagers, the Minister pointed out that the previous BRS government had not issued a single fresh ration card in the last 10 years and people had a lot of expectations from the current government which had made tall promises in the name of guarantees.
He said that the Congress Government, led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, has failed to implement the Mahalakshmi guarantee, which includes a monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,500, availability of gas cylinders at an affordable price of Rs 500, and the provision of free travel in RTC buses for women. He also said that the Congress Government has not fulfilled its other guarantees such as Rythu Bharosa, Gruha Jyothi, Indiramma Indlu, Yuva Vikasam and Cheyutha, which are aimed at providing support to farmers, electricity consumers, house owners, youth and senior citizens respectively.
He alleged that the Congress Government is indulging in corruption and mismanagement of public funds, and is neglecting the development of the state. He said that the BJP is the only alternative for the people of Telangana, and urged them to vote for the saffron party in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024. He said that the BJP will ensure the welfare and progress of all sections of the society, and will make Telangana a model state in the country.
