The Congress party has announced six guarantees for the people of Telangana, if it comes to power in the upcoming assembly elections. The guarantees are aimed at providing financial assistance, social security, and educational opportunities to all sections of society, with a special focus on women, farmers, and the youth.
Mahalakshmi:
- ₹2,500 monthly financial assistance to women
- Gas Cylinder at ₹500
- Free travel for women in TSRTC buses
Rythu Bharosa:
- Financial assistance of ₹15,000 per year to farmers, tenant farmers
- ₹12,000 to agricultural labourers every year
- ₹500 bonus per quintal for paddy in addition to MSP
Gruha Jyothi:
- 200 units free electricity for all households
Indiramma Indlu:
- Families not owning a house will be provided a house site & ₹5 lakh financial assistance towards construction of the house
- All Telangana movement fighters will be provided a 250 sq yards house site
Yuva Vikasam:
- Vidya Bharosa Card - A financial assistance card worth ₹5 lakh will be provided to students
- Telangana International Schools will be built in every mandal
Cheyutha:
- Monthly pension of ₹4,000 will be provided to senior citizens, widows, disabled, beedi workers, single women, toddy tappers, weavers, AIDS and Filaria patients and kidney patients undergoing dialysis
- Rajiv Aarogyasri - Health insurance of ₹10 lakh will be provided
These guarantees, if implemented, would have a significant impact on the lives of the people of Telangana. They would provide much-needed financial relief to women, farmers, and other marginalized groups, and would help to improve access to education and healthcare for all.
However, it is important to note that these are just promises, and it remains to be seen whether the Congress party will be able to deliver on them if it comes to power.
