Revanth Reddy criticizes Modi's comments, highlights Telangana's successful welfare schemes benefiting women, farmers, and youth under Congress government.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy described Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on the welfare schemes being implemented as misinformed and containing full of factual errors with regard to the Telangana Government.
In a post on “X” (formerly Twitter), Mr. Reddy clarified the misconceptions of Mr. Modi and explained how the welfare schemes in Telangana were bringing joy to the targeted sections.
Mr. Reddy said that when the Congress took over on December 7, 2023, there was joy and hope among the people, as they had suffered under a near-decade of BRS misrule.
The government, within two days of assuming power, unveiled the delivery of its first and second promise — free bus travel for women across all Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) buses and a healthcare and hospitalisation cover of Rs 10 lakhs under the Rajiv Aarogyasri scheme.
“In the last 11 months, our sisters and mothers of Telangana have travelled without paying a single rupee fare, undertaking over 101 crore free bus trips across the State, saving ₹3,433.36 crore,” he posted.
He further said that even before completing the first year, the Congress government implemented India’s largest ever state-level farmer-loan waiver, ensuring the ‘Rythe Raju’ (Farmer is King) concept in Telangana. He said 22,22,365 farmers are now free from any loan, living like kings. The government has deposited over ₹18,000 crores into farmers’ accounts in 25 days.
Mr. Reddy said women were blessing the Congress government as they get free electricity with no domestic power charge for their homes up to 200 units. Similarly, unlike the BJP-ruled states, the gas cylinder is being supplied at ₹500 to family households.
