The YSRCP government has spent ₹2.7 lakh crore as part of various welfare schemes in the last five years and it needs to be elected again to ensure the continuation of these schemes, says the Chief Minister
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on April 29 (Monday) appealed to the public to vote for the “real hero in real life for a bright future for every household”.
In a two-hour election campaign at Ambajipeta in Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema district, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy lamented that nobody would want to admire villains in real life.
“Why should Jagan Mohan Reddy be defeated in the elections? Should he be defeated for the revolutionary welfare measures delivered at every household?” he asked while addressing a public meeting.
“In this decisive poll battle, the voters must give another choice to the YSRCP instead of welcoming the alliance that comes up with the Janmabhoomi Committee system,” said the Chief Minister.
Referring to the amount of money spent on welfare by the YSRCP government, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “The welfare done in the last five years is equal to the welfare done by my predecessors since Independence”.
He said 130 buttons were pressed to disburse ₹2.7 lakh crore through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) method as part of various welfare schemes, apart from recruitment done for 2.31 lakh government jobs and the guaranteed disbursement of social welfare pensions on the first day of every month. “The numbers speak it all about the welfare done in the last five years in the State,” he said.
