Puvvada accuses Congress of weakening Telangana welfare schemes
A man named Puvvada Ajay Kumar used to be a minister in a place called Telangana.
He is upset with the new government, which is run by the Congress party.
The government has two special programs called Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak.
These programs give money to poor families when their daughters get married.
The programs were started by the old government, led by a man named K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Ajay Kumar says the new government is not taking care of these programs.
He says the government did not answer the court's questions about the programs.
The court asked the government four times to explain itself.
Ajay Kumar thinks the government wants to weaken the programs.
He warns that families and women will be very upset if the programs are stopped.
