Station Ghanpur gets Rs 1,500 crore development push: Kadiyam Srihari
A leader named Kadiyam Srihari represents a place called Station Ghanpur.
He told the people that development worth 1,500 crore rupees is happening there.
The government is building roads, community halls, schools, and other helpful buildings.
The government is also helping poor families with free bus rides, free electricity, and good rice.
From August 15, widows will start getting money to support them.
There is very little rain, and farmers are worried about their crops.
To help, the government is releasing water from big reservoirs.
Srihari said the dry weather is caused by something called El Niño, not by the government.
He asked other leaders to stop blaming the government without proof.
He also opened a water filter and new lights at a girls' school.
Kadiyam Srihari, MLA of Station Ghanpur, said development works worth Rs 1,500 crore are underway across the constituency.
Welfare schemes including Indiramma Housing, free bus travel for women, fine rice distribution, 200 units of free electricity, and new ration cards are benefiting the poor.
Sanction of widow pensions will begin from August 15.
To tackle drought, water has been released from the Dharmasagar reservoir, with releases from Ghanpur, Ashwaraopally, and Gandi Ramaram reservoirs expected within a week.
Srihari attributed the drought to the El Niño effect and urged political leaders to stop what he called baseless allegations against the government.
